OOPS.. ENGINE NOT A BIG VALVE- BUT" IS " THE LOTUS TWIN CAM ENGINE **** YOU WILL NOT FIND A GOOD RUNNING ELAN THIS CHEAP EVER ***** THIS 1970 LOTUS ELAN IS IN GOOD TO VERY GOOD MECHANICAL COND. AND RUNS STRONG.. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THE ENG HAD BEEN REBUILT AND IT HAS A NEW CLUTCH. ENG LOOKS VERY FRESH AND RUNS LIKE IT WAS REBUILT. VERY GOOD OIL PRESSURE EVEN WHEN HOT . BRAKES HAVE BEEN REBUILT AND WORK FINE . HAS NEW TIRES AND PANASPORT WHEELS ( WITH KNOCK OFFS ) WOOD DASH IS IN GOOD COND AND LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY . SEATS ARE IN GOOD COND . AND TOP APPEARS TO BE NEW BUT IS COMMING UNSEWN IN A SMALL SPOT ( WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN PHOTO WITH COIN NEXT TO PROBLEM AREA FOR SIZE COMPARISON ) . WINDOWS ARE CLEAR AND NICE.. BODY DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE EVER BEEN CRASHED. ALL WHEELS WELLS ARE SMOOTH AND NICE. THE FRAME OF THE CAR APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION SHOWING NO SIGNS OF A CRASH OR DAMAGE.. THE PAINT ON THE CAR IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REDONE..IT HAS WHAT LOOK TO ME LIKE BLISTERS BUT DOES NOT HAVE MANY STRESS CRACKS . THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT ON TWO ELECTRIC FANS ONE WHICH IS THERMOSTATICLY CONTROLED AND ONE XTRA WHICH HAS A MANUAL CONTROL. AND BOLTED IN AN OVERSIZE RADIATOR.WHICH I WAS GOING TO REMOVE AND PUT THE STOCK SINGLE FAN AND ORIGINAL RADIATOR BACK IN ..THIS IS A BOLT IN JOB AND I HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS . WHILE EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH ELECTRICAL WORKS HIS WIRE JOB LOOKS BAD AND SHOULD BE TIDIED UP BY REMOVEING THE EXTRA WIRES HE PUT IN FOR THE FAN . I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH PLANS TO RESTORE IT ..BUT IT IS TOO HARD FOR ME TO GET IN AND OUT OFF ( I AM IN MY MID 60S CAR RUNS AND DRIVES FINE AS IT IS BUT DESERVES BETTER... I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM N.Y. USA AND IN THAT STATE OLDER CARS HAVE A BILL OF SALE AND SOME OTHER DOCUMENTS BUT DO NOT HAVE TITLES WITH AN OWERSHIP CERTIFICATE AS IN OTHER STATES. ALL PAPER WORK IS IN ORDER AND SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. * ANY QUESTIONS MY E-MAIL IS curtisofca@verizon.net
