Lotus Elan SE Roadster, 1967
Chassis No.: 265771 • Exterior: Red • Interior: White • Body: Roadster • Delivered new to Graziano Imports in Newington, Connecticut • One of the last SEs built • Copies of original MSO and warranty certificate • Log books and import documents • Modified to 26R standards with upgraded CV joints • Fiberglass body • Dry sump engine built by Jay Ivey • 1700cc/183 HP engine • Twin Italian manufactured Weber carburetors • Lotus heads and Ford block • Billet crankshaft • ATL fuel cell • Aluminum radiator • ‘Dog Box’ 4-speed transmission • Limited slip differential • Front A-arms • Independent rear suspension • Koni 4-corner coilovers • 4-wheel disc brakes • Rack and pinion steering • Two sets of 13 inch Panasport Ultralight wheels • Smiths gauges Amazingly, this 1967 Lotus Elan has been a competition car since 1972. In its most recent outing in November 2016, it placed fourth in class and sixth overall in a field of 38 cars at the SVRA National Championship. In 2014, it went through a rebuild and upgrade to 26R standards with improved CV joints and a dry-sump engine by Jay Ivey that produces 183 HP at 7,100 RPM. This Lotus Elan weighs in at a feather-light 1,290 pounds with a resultant power-to-weight ratio of 7.04 to 1. For comparison sake, the only car with that same power-to-weight ratio back in 1967 was the high-performance 427 big-block Corvette. What this means is that the Elan is, and always has been, a giant killer. Although this car started life as a street car, Lotus cars have always been race-bred machines from their very inception. Lotus Founder Colin Chapman only built street cars to support his racing efforts. Chapman is legendary for his fanatical weight-saving efforts, and this machine is a prime example of that mantra. The Elan features an innovative backbone frame that placed the load-bearing stress on the center mid-section along the plane of the driveshaft and on the four suspension mounting points along the front and rear track. It was a design that not only drastically reduced weight—especially when compared to the conventional ladder frames of the era—but it also allowed the driver to sit close to the ground and thereby benefit from a low center of gravity. When combined with its 4-wheel independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and 4-wheel disc brakes, the Elan was a brilliant piece of engineering. This is one fast and beautifully prepared Lotus race car, and it comes with import documents, log books dating back to 1972, a copy of the original MSO and warranty certificate. https://www.mecum.com/lots/299899/1967-lotus-elan-se-roadster/

The lightweight Lotus has undergone an extensive, no-expense-spared reincarnation from a street-going Elan S3 into a serious race car that harks back to the famous Lotus 26R. The Lotus Elan originated from the fertile mind of Colin Chapman, a car designer and manufacturer who found legendary success at the highest levels of auto racing. More than just a modified street car, this 1967 Lotus Elan S3 Vintage Racer is the spiritual rendition of the legendary Lotus 26R—Chapman’s Elan-based competition car. Following the same preparation protocol as the Lotus 26R, this car has received a number of significant and substantive changes including gusseting of the central backbone frame, gusseting of the suspension mounting points, installation of a limited-slip differential, fitment of a roll cage, thicker sway bars and wider wheels and tires. Back in the day, the original Lotus 26R engine—an inline 4-cylinder sourced from a Ford Cortina—was up-fitted with a dual overhead cam head with side-draft Weber carburetors and extensively modified by Cosworth Engineering to produce around 150 horsepower. This particular Elan S3 engine has been prepared by the widely respected Lotus marque expert Tony Ingram and produces horsepower far in excess of the original Cosworth. It has been upgraded to current vintage racing safety standards with a fuel cell, a fire-suppression system and approved roll cage. The Elan is a fresh build with just one shakedown weekend on the Laguna Seca course during the 2015 Monterey Pre-Reunion event. This feather-light flyer is fast, agile and responsive and actually exceeds the performance envelope of its progenitor Lotus 26R. This expertly prepared Lotus will most assuredly be a formidable weapon in the hands of a capable driver. https://www.mecum.com/lots/244426/1967-lotus-elan-s3/

يعني مصطلح GCC Specs أن السيارة صُنعت وفق المواصفات المعتمدة لأسواق دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي. وعادةً ما تكون هذه الإصدارات مصممة لتناسب الظروف المناخية المحلية. لكن GCC Specs بحد ذاتها لا تثبت حالة السيارة ولا تعني وجود ضمان ساري؛ لذا يجب التحقق من حالة السيارة والضمان بشكل منفصل.
