1966 Lotus Elan S3 Racecar - SOLD

This is now SOLD. Search for similar items.

Description:


This very low mileage restored street car was converted to a RMVR vintage racer in the mid 90's. Frame
off race modifications were done at that time. The car is ready to race and yet is still an easy conversion back
to street for a hot street car. This car was designed to be a clean, true to the spirit, vintage racer. The only
non-period modifications are for safety.
