Lotus Elan Sprint

Hankered after a Sprint for a while and bought this from a long term owner reducing his collection of 4!

Unusual Lotus 5 speed makes longer trips more enjoyable.

Congratulations!

That looks very, very nice. I think one of the few other classics i'd be very happy with - in addition to a Renault Alpine A110 of course.... :roll:

Very nice indeed.

My friend has one. Apparently changing all the bushes to poly ones transformed his. He says it's a wonderful thing to drive now.
