[Nobbc] 1966 Lotus Elan S3 Coupe

[andy preston]

This car looks truly stunning in the photos and I'm sure it cost more than
the asking price to restore to that standard.  I don't know much about Lotus
but have always loved them and the ilans especially.  It looks like the twin
to Sarto's coupe so I'd love to get his feedback on it.  I don't think it
will last long at the asking price.  Maybe time to change the breed.

  Yes, it's a beauty, Sheryl, even though it's a slightly older
restoration. Very pricey for a coupe, even though those prices have been
climbing, but also the modifications to the dashboard and some other
deviations from originality make this pretty optimistic money. Peter
Egan's car recently sold for $38,200, but that is because it was his
car, in addition to having been recently restored, and of course being a
very early car. With this one, it will all be down to how well the
rebuild on the mechanicals was done, and how good the restoration looks
up close.
Thinking of stepping up from the "B"?
Cheers,
Greg
