1966 Lotus Elan SE
$36,900
The essential 1960s British sports car, the tiny Lotus Elan,
remains a benchmark for handling. With its pop-up headlights,
curved windshield, and roll-up windows, it was a symbol of Swinging
London, immortalized in The Avengers television series.
This Elan has been cared for very well over the years. The car has
spent most of its life in Arizona and Florida. It is a rust-free
