1969 Lotus Elan S4 SE DHC Webers Very Good Condition SOLD
It is a 1968 model but was registered in 1969 and consequently has the desirable twin Weber Carburettors. The car has been the subject of an older ‘full nut and bolt’ restoration which is shown in a large portfolio of photographs taken during the refurbishment. The car was fitted with a new galvanised Lotus chassis in 1986. A comprehensive history file comes with the car which documents only 4 previous owners and MOT's dating back from1977 to the present day. The car is in fantastic condition and has been lovingly maintained. Everything has been replaced or refurbished. The tyres are good and the hood is good too. There is also a decent tonneau cover.
The car starts at the first turn of the key, doesn't smoke, runs perfectly and everything works, it does not overheat as it has the larger S3/ S4 radiator. It’s also cheap to insure.
The photographs show that the car is very original apart from the bumpers and wheels which are painted black. They should be painted silver but this could be easily changed. The car is a proper Special Equipment Elan with Special Equipment cams, leather bound steering wheel signed by Colin Chapman, chrome wheel embellishers, chrome sill body flashes and strips, a 3. 5 differential and SE badges.
The following work has been carried out during my four and a half year, 8, 500 mile ownership:-
New Dynamo/ alternator (An alternator which looks like a dynamo)
New Xeon headlights
New Stealth electronic Ignition
New Hand brake pads
New stainless steel front brake pistons and seals
