This example is believed to be one of just two cars specially ordered in solid colors by the Lotus distributor in Toronto, being finished in Cirrus white, as opposed to two-tone Sprint colors, and is fitted with a stylish sunroof. This example is also heavily optioned with Lotus 'knock-off' wheels, an Audiovox stereo, Maserati air horns, Lucas 'tripod' headlights, and powered by the 1,558 cc DOHC "Big-Valve" 4-cylinder, all adding to its original $6,427 purchase price.
Having only driven approximately 6,000 miles from new, this matching numbers, low mileage Elan Sprint Coupe presents beautifully in preservation condition, showing very little wear after nearly 50 years of life. Accompanying the sale of this spectacular example is the original tool kit, manuals, spare tire, original MSO, window sticker, and other various spare OEM parts for the car.
For Lotus, the Elan would prove an immense commercial success, with slightly fewer than 9,000 being produced by the time production ceased in 1973. This 1 of just 25 produced Elan Sprint Coupe offers a very rare chance to own one of the nicest examples in existence, offered today in preservation condition.
