Buying or Selling a 1961 Lotus Elite?

 

The Lotus Elite Type 14 was introduced in 1957 at the British Earl’s Court exhibition and produced from 1958 to 1963. Peter Kirwan-Taylor designed the car, using a monococque fiberglass fabrication for the body. Simple and elegant, the design had a very low drag coefficient of 0.29. Fitted with a Bristol plastics body—unlike the previous Maximar-built body shells, the 1961 Lotus Elite model was known as the Series 2. A 1.2-liter, straight-four engine unit powered the Elite and provided an output of 75 hp for the standard model and 85 hp for the Lotus Elite SE with the SU carburetors. A silver colored roof was also fitted on the SE, as well as an improved ZF gearbox instead of the previous MG one.
