1961 Lotus Elite Series 2

This meticulously preserved 1961 Lotus Elite Series 2 is a rare gem nestled in the heart of Utah. This iconic British roadster bears the distinctive mark of its craftsmanship, with a sleek fiberglass body that still sparkles after all these years. The original Formula One-inspired design features a long curved nose, compact rear, and distinctive side vents. Under the bonnet lies a twin-cam inline-four Coventry Climax engine, delivering around 100 horsepower, which may seem modest by today's standards but was thrilling in its time. This Series 2 variant introduces improvements such as disc brakes and a wider track for enhanced stability and control. Despite its advanced age, this Elite maintains its originality, right down to the black leather interior with red tartan inserts - a classic Lotus touch that emphasizes both luxury and sportiness.
