Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1972 Lotus Elan Sprint, a US Alumni edition, presents a blend of restoration and originality. Sporting a Pistachio Lime Green finish, it features a rebuilt 1.6-liter engine with Weber carburetors and electronic ignition, complemented by a refurbished chassis and updated interior elements. However, the car exhibits some cosmetic imperfections and a noted oil leak.

Condition
7
The car has undergone refurbishment, addressing some mechanical and cosmetic issues. While it shows well with replaced components and refinished elements, there are still noted flaws in the paint, cracks in the dashboard varnish, and an oil leak from the engine, suggesting it's not in perfect condition. The mileage is relatively low, but the combination of restored and imperfect aspects places it in the 'Very Good' to 'Good' range.
