One of the first 200 Elans produced and an original right-hand drive car. Matching numbers authenticated by Lotus Club GB. Chassis up restoration in 2010/2011. Complete with original Works hardtop, hood and hood frame. A superb example of one of the very first Lotus Elan S1s. Your earliest inspection is encouraged and welcomed. In the early 1960s, before any production Elans were built, Colin Chapman decided to outsource bodyshell production to Bourne Plastics in Netherfield Nottingham. The mainstay of their business at that time was the production of fibreglass boat hulls, but in 1962 they won a ú100,000 contract to supply GRP bodies for the new Lotus Elan sports car. This was seen as a breakthrough for the company and, remarked the Nottingham Evening Post,.
