1970 Lotus Elan S4

1970 Lotus elan S4 - Recent refurbishment (but keeping it original) and engine rebuild during 2021 so it's all good and raring to go! A classic sports car from the 60s/70s with proven racing heritage. The Elan also has TV notoriety having been Emma Peels' choice of transport in The Avengers! The excellent performance of the Elan was derived from the combination of its powerful engine and light weight. Roadholding and agility also meant that high speeds could be maintained on corners. By contemporary standards, the Elan was an exceptionally rapid car and quite lived up to its name. It embarrassed almost every other supercar at the time in terms of outright acceleration up to about 90 mph. This electrifying performance was accentuated by the brilliant handling and road holding, allied to the small size and weight of the Elan, which meant that a well driven Elan on a dry road could outclass any other non-Lotus road car.Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren, reportedly said that his only disappointment with the McLaren F1 was that he could not give it the perfect steering of the Lotus Elan! For clarity self drive is not an option.
