1962 Lotus Elite on BaT, gorgeous car

[Porter]

This thing is really beautiful. I don't know if it's worth what they're bidding on it, but it looks absolutely amazing.

Has anyone done a restomod on one of these, Alfaholics style? This seems like an ideal sort of car for that, or maybe starting with one that's not so pristine.

Love how the Type 14's dash shape echoes the beautiful exterior lines 😍
This beauty was at the Silverstone Festival last weekend

The Drive videos are fun to watch..... especially when the driver down shifts and pegs the Tachometer past the top of the RED range at 7000RPM! Yikes.

Luckily in this case, the tach is broken and he's only revving up to around 5k! Otherwise, he'd deserve to be flogged for abusing the best road model Lotus ever made.
