1969 Lotus Elan shows 27000 miles runs beautifully
This is a beautiful clean Lotus Elan. It has new paint from a high level restoration paint shop specializing in fiberglass. This car shows 27000 miles. I can’t guarantee it but believe it’s true. The body was extremely clean when stripped of paint. The engine had the head removed to fix an oil leak that happens from the ageing of a rubber hose on the side of the engine that occurs on all twin cam lotuses. While we were in there we put in a new water pump -- with the head being off. Brakes and steering area tie rod ends bushings and etc. replaced. The rubber donut drive axle couplings which are part of the rear drive mechanism were replaced. New master cylinder and brake cylinders rebuilt. New rear main engine seal replaced and while there the clutch was replaced. Top, wood dash, and center console are also new. Seats seem good except for small cut in passenger seat that you have to look for. Speedometer does run too fast and will need to be sent off for repair. Electrically I think everything works. This car runs beautifully. It's fast and it handles amazing like a Lotus should.
