Summary: The collector of this car is keen on keeping his cars mechanically solid for use. This is a wonderful example of a classic Lotus Elan Sprint. It is perfect for cruising and taking to car shows. The collector spared no expense in the restoration, a true labor of love and passion with great attention to detail. The best way to buy a car in my opinion is to have someone take on a project of this magnitude and then the buyer reaps the benefit of a finished car. A joy to own and drive.
