1965 Lotus Elan 26R GTS - SOLD

This is now SOLD. Search for similar items.

Description:


Full-On Tony Thompson 26R Elan GTS "re-creation." This is easily the nicest, fastest, and most well-sorted Elan race car in the U.S.A. and has every available TTR (Tony Thompson) option. Stunningly beautiful and concours condition throughout, this car cost nearly $150,000 to build and would cost more than that to duplicate today. It has less than 25 total races on it and is better than when new. If you have been looking to race an Elan and want the best, this is the car for you.
