Description

A masterclass in minimalist engineering, stripping away modern weight to deliver pure, unadulterated sports car agility.

The original Lotus five-spoke alloy wheels are in excellent condition, with no damage or corrosion noted on the faces.

They are wrapped in a pair of Toyo tyres at the front and Vredestein tyres at the rear, all of which have plenty of tread remaining.

Please take the 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.

The bodywork is in excellent condition, with no damage noted, and the panels align with equal gaps on both sides.

The removable fabric roof is also in excellent condition, with minimal signs of age.

We've highlighted our observations in more detail through our high-resolution images and videos, so please take the time to lo...
