This example of the Lotus Elite is a white S2 delivered to its first owner in the UK, Mr Lynwood of London on 15th February 1962 and registered 2 CMU. Purchased by Doug Trewenack in June 1969 it was imported to Australia in December 1970 and then sold to Matt Carroll of South Australia in 1977 who in turn sold it to John Fitzpatrick in 1981. From 1984 it was held in the Blight family of South Australia for the next 30 years; first by Alf Blight who undertook work on the engine and the upholstery, and then from the early 1990s by his daughter Kerry Jervis who owned the car until 2014. This Lotus Elite is now available for just its lucky seventh owner.
