Rotisserie Restoration With Documentation
LMCis very proud too offer for sale this 1967 Lotus ElanS3 FHC
The Lotus Elan stands as one of the purest expressions of Colin
Chapman's philosophy that lightweight equals performance, and this
beautifully fully restored 1967 example represents the model at its
absolute best. Revered for its delicate balance, telepathic
steering, and timeless design, the Elan redefined what a small
sports car could be and went on to influence generations of
performance automobiles.
This 1967 Lotus Elan S3 Fixed Head Coupe represents one of the most
significant and meticulously restored examples of Colin Chapman's
lightweight masterpiece. Finished in a rich Maroon over a Black
vinyl interior, this Elan benefits from a documented,
no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration, completed with extensive
receipts and photographic documentation, with over $100,000
invested to return the car to a level that meets or exceeds
original factory standards.
Power comes from the numbers matching 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four,
breathing through Weber carburetors and paired with a four-speed
manual transmission, delivering the crisp throttle response and
agile performance that made the Elan legendary. Faithful to its
original specification, this example is equipped with desirable
knock-on wheels, completing the purposeful and elegant stance that
defines the Series 3.
Of particular historical importance, this car is documented as the
very first Elan S3 produced at Hethel, marking a pivotal moment in
Lotus production history. This distinction is supported by a Lotus
Classic Vehicle Provenance Certificate, further validating its
rarity and collectability.
Combining early-production significance, exceptional restoration
quality, and comprehensive documentation, this 1967 Lotus Elan S3
FHC stands as a blue-chip example for the discerning
collector-equally suited for concours presentation, curated
collections, or spirited driving that honors the car's racing-bred
DNA.
