AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Lotus Elan S2 is a running project, offered with 46 years of family ownership history and a clean California title. It features a 1.6-liter twin-cam engine with Weber carburetors and a four-speed manual transmission, presented in Cirrus White with a black interior and soft top.

Condition
6
The car is described as a 'running project' with a fiberglass body in Cirrus White and gold bumpers. It features a black convertible top, retractable headlights, and 13" steel wheels with Michelin tires. While it runs and has a clean California title, it is a project car, implying it requires some reconditioning. The mention of 'gold bumpers' and the fact that it's a project suggest it's not in perfect or excellent condition. It has moderate wear expected for a project car of this age.
