Lotus' diminutive 1960s Elan quickly achieved iconic status and marked a high point in the company's history. No doubt a degree of reflected glory was sought by applying the same moniker to the very different Peter Stevens-penned M100 model launched in 1989. A small, fibre-glass bodied two-seater sports car constructed over a rigid steel chassis, the newcomer certainly conformed to the general philosophy of Lotus's late founder, Colin Chapman.

With just one private keeper from new and having covered 99,100 miles, the Lotus Elan M100 offered, was first registered and supplied new to the vendor in August of 1991 by Reynolds Sports Cars of Liverpool. ‘J501 LKB’ is only being sold due to the advancing years of the owner, a Club Lotus member since 1973, and this Elan was his fourth foray into Lotus ownership back in 1991. Each winter the car has been stored in the garage and only used for pleasure trips otherwise. In recent years the car has benefitted from a cambelt and water pump at c.97,000 miles, plugs and leads. The Elan is accompanied by the original older Blue V5 and the current V5C, as well as old MOT paperwork, many invoices from over the years and the original owner’s wallet with handbooks and service book showing 16 entries.

PLEASE NOTE: The estimate for this lot is now £7,000 - £9,000
