Yellow 1974 Lotus Elite with 65,000 original miles. I have owned this car for over 28 years and have done lots of work on it over the years. To start with the engine was completely rebuilt at 40,000 miles and several things were upgraded at that time. The cam belt tensioner was replaced with a new style and the cams were replaced with factory european cams. The cam pulleys were also replaced with the improved design. All internal engine moving parts were replaced. The head was replaced with an Esprit head. The intake manifold was replaced with one that has dual weber 40 DCOE carbs, and a factory european airbox was installed. The clutch and pressure plate was also replaced. The exhaust system was replaced with a stainless steel system. The ignition system was upgraded to a breakerless model and a full centrifugal distributor was installed. The interior was redone and looks like new. The only flaws are the bumpers are pealing and the original paint is a little thin in a few areas. The relay that runs the fuel pump should be replaced. The front sway bar needs new bushings. The front spoiler has a crack that should be repaired. Ths car won the "Best in Class Trophy" at the St Louis European Auto Show last year. http://www.photomotiononline.com/orderprints.php?mode=step3&eventId=47&carKeyword=5096&pictureId=90472 A picture of the trophy is included in the pictures. The car is located in St. Louis County, MO. until the end of this month and then in gets moved to Florida.
