A 1968 Lotus Elan S4 SE DHC, registration number FAR 88G, chassis number 8104, engine number LP12843LBA, Carnival red. Garage stored since 1998, this lady owned Type 45 special equipment model was purchased by her in 1981 for £2,500 (receipt on file). Finished in Carnival red with a black interior, hood and hood cover, it features knock off wheels with correct three blade spinners and the rare Colin Chapman signed original steering wheel. Prior to going into storage the chassis was replaced at 91,000 miles and a new engine was installed at 94,750 miles, the current recorded mileage is 101,820 miles. During storage the paintwork has deteriorated with a patch missing from the bonnet. The Elan will now require recommissioning and restoring as necessary having spent 18 years in hibernation. This charming example is offered for auction with some spares including a pair of new drive shafts. A history file accompanys the Elan with receipts, the purchase receipt, past MOTs, tax discs, original handbooks and workshop manual and wheel brace and jack in its original wallet. The Elan is now reluctantly for sale and the vendor hopes that the Elan will be purchased by a new enthusiast who will cherish and use it as Colin Chapman intended. V5, no MOT See illustrations

The very smartly-presented, right-hand drive 'home market' example on offer was subject to a ground up restoration some two years ago, at a cost well in excess of £25,000 for parts and labour. The work included a bare metal body and chassis repaint; new boot floor, passenger area rear panel, fuel tank, chassis brace, body mounts, axle brackets, engine and gearbox mounts, steering rack and bushes, wiring loom and brake and fuel lines. The braking system was completely overhauled with new master and slave cylinders and handbrake cables. The radiator, dynamo and propshaft were all reconditioned at a cost of £500. The four-cylinder OHV engine was overhauled and the cast iron cylinder head converted to function safely on unleaded fuel. A new four-into-one stainless exhaust system was also installed. During the restoration, close attention was paid to the cosmetic aspects of the car, which resulted in the fitting of new: chrome wire wheels, interior trim and carpets, windscreen and rubbers, hood, full tonneau cover, stainless steel bumpers, and front and rear lights. The body trims were all replaced with fresh items and a new Moto-Lita steering wheel and boss installed. According to the Triumph's British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate, this TR was manufactured at the company's Coventry factory on April 29th 1964 and dispatched to Triumph dealers Beadle and Company of Mayfair, London on June 1st. The car still carries its original London registration number, while the Heritage Certificate confirms it to have left the factory equipped with the desirable overdrive transmission and finished in White, exactly as it's presented for sale today. It comes with a very substantial history file that includes: invoices; photographic record of the restoration; DVLA list of previous owners; the aforementioned Heritage Certificate; workshop manual; a valuation certificate dated July 2014 for the sum of £30,000; and 23 old MOT certificates, plus one valid to August 15th this year. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted 49,000 miles and the vendor classes the two-seater bodywork, paintwork, Red interior trim, 2.1-litre engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'excellent' order. What's not to like?!
