Restored 1969 Lotus Elan S4 SE

The vehicle in question is a meticulously restored classic, a 1969 Lotus Elan S4 SE. This iconic British roadster showcases its distinctive fiberglass body, originally developed for aerospace applications and painted in an elegant white hue, giving it an aerodynamic appearance that harkens back to the Swinging Sixties. The vehicle retains its original steel backbone chassis and live rear axle configuration but with revised suspension geometry offering more modern handling characteristics suitable for today's driving conditions. With a top speed of approximately 127 mph (204 km/h) and capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in about 8 seconds, this particular Elan S4 SE boasts the distinctive Rover V8 engine, a unique feature compared to earlier iterations which were typically powered by four-cylinder engines. Completing its charming package are classic details like a removable hardtop for wind-in-your-hair driving pleasure and an interior swathed in luxurious leather upholstery that combines authentic retro charm with 21st-century comforts. Currently located in Torrance, California, it maintains the essence of a bygone era blended seamlessly with modern engineering advancements.
