Presented as a restoration project, this Lotus Elite 503 was registered in February 1978 and has had four registered keepers since then.

Its last MoT expired in February 1990, after which it was garage-stored save for being driven around the yard in the early 2000s.

The odometer shows 61,968 miles.

The Elite comes with a spare windscreen.

Paperwork includes an old style V5, radio instructions, wiring diagram, servicing chart and 1989 MoT certificate (at 59,694 miles).

There's also the service book, with entries up to September 1979 at 15,382 miles.
