The Lotus Elan Sprint delivers unmatched agility through its lightweight design and iconic, high-performance big-valve engine.
The 13” painted black steel rims are in excellent condition with decent chrome spinners and wheel rim embellishments.
The car has a full set of aftermarket Lotus dustcaps.
The front and rear of the car are fitted with Michelin MXTE with a spec of 165/70.
They appear to be in very good shape, with even tread and no significant signs of age, having passed a recent MOT with no notification of wear.
However, they are likely to be over 25 years old.
Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition.
Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.
The fibreglass body tub shows no cracks in the wheel wells, sills or overall exterior of the car.
