This is a rare and distinctive 1956 Lotus Eleven Series I Le Mans project car, chassis number 242. Originally manufactured in the UK but delivered to the US, this iconic British sports racer is one of approximately 270 built during its three-year production run from 1956 to 1958. It's known to have been campaigned by racer Frank Baptista in various SCCA events during the late 1950s, showcasing its competitive spirit even decades ago. Owned for nearly four decades now, this Lotus Eleven presents an exciting opportunity for a new custodian to restore and potentially race this historic machine.
