Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1963 Lotus Elan S1 is a compelling 26R tribute, boasting a comprehensively rebuilt 1.9L Lotus Twin Cam engine and a Tony Thompson 26R chassis. It features numerous performance upgrades like Weber carburettors, Quaife gearbox, and upgraded suspension, making it a potent machine for track or road use, with extensive documentation supporting its modifications.

Condition 

7

The car is a modified tribute with a rebuilt engine and racing components. While the mechanicals appear to be in very good condition due to recent work and upgrades, the description directs the user to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition, implying that these aspects might have some wear consistent with a tribute or track-focused car. This suggests a 'Very Good' condition, where there's slight wear visible, but it's overall solid.
