Description

Offered to market, is a thoroughly exciting and interesting presentation of what is quickly becoming one of the most sought after and collectible classic Lotuses...

A 1971 DHC Sprint, coming from long term ownership with just one former keeper, BAF 50K benefits from a rare single tone colour scheme, well sized history file and the arguably more fitting and sought after 4 speed manual gearbox. This is a car that ticks a lot of boxes and would make a welcome addition to bolster any collection or be a good fit for someone who wants a fun, rare and importantly usable classic sports car.

The Lotus is finished in lesser seen Lotus Pistachio Lime Green, and rather usually is a single colour car (a special order option) notably lacking the more common white and gold lower sections. Its undoubtedly a striking car in its current form and boasts an honest well earned age related patina throughout, with some to be expected blemishes etc. We feel it looks the part as is but if you are striving for perfection then a full repaint would be required. The car comes with a full length tonneau and fold away soft top roof.

The inside exhibits in much the same fashion with general wear and tear commensurate with age.

Mechanically the car looks to be in fine fettle. The iconic big valve engine appears well. We have taken it for a short test drive around our farm and it performed nicely; starting, running, driving and stopping.
