Lotus Elan Sprint DHC, 1972.

I sold this Sprint 41 years ago to a good friend of mine.

He had the Elan for over 30 years and he sold it my best friend who then owned it for 8 years.

I never thought I would ever own it again! A truly wonderful example having had a stunning full repaint costing nearly £20k (my friend being a very fastidious gentleman and Lotus Historian!).

Superb in Lotus Yellow over Cirrus White.

We have just fitted a new mohair hood and tonneau which is tailored around the detachable roll hoop.

Aluminium fuel tank.

Just 65k miles with masses of history going back to when I bought the Sprint in 1984 from a gentleman in the South of England.

His other car was a virtually new Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

This really is a very special car to me as I ve seen and driven it over this long period of time as both my friends still live just 12 miles away from us.
