LOTUS ELITE 502 (Type 75)Year of manufacture 19742.2 engine aluminium block 4 valves DOHC with double DELLORTO carbs. Front engine, rear wheel driveOriginal Lotus Rims 14"4 seats 2+2 shooting break body styleIt has all Fiberglass body and is fitted with the Lotus built TWIN overhead all aluminium 1973cc 4 cylinders 160bhp engine (same engine than Jensen Healey) with 5 speed manual transmission. The model 502 has the air con option. Assembled at Hethel, Norfolk. It had 4 wheels independent suspension using coil springs.This was the last production model designed by Colin CHAPMAN himself (with Oliver Winterbottom) before he died in 1982. A great future classic with safe investment potential. Back in the days it was the most expensive 4 cylinders car in the world.A lot of man-hours spent to bring a back to that stage, probably about 400 hours man-hours.Engine, electrics, bumpers, interior, chassis, hoses... many jobs has been done already. Sold as project as still, the driver side needs to be retrimmed, the fuel pump replaced, the pop-up lights need attention and good buffing around to make that beautiful red shinning again. The engine is running and lot of jobs have been made already. Is difficult to list all so please feel free to come and have look by yourself in Bournemouth Dorset.Price is £6500 or near offer but I wont let it go under as I do love that car, the concept of the shooting break (more beautiful than the Reliant), I am just selling it as I struggling to find the time she deserves as I have 12 other classic cars among another Lotus. I am not desperate to sell it so please spare me silly offers, they will be ignored. Do not expect come and turn the keys and driving around, it has been a year now that I have not drove it, so a trailer will be required, especially with the weak fuel pump. I am making running my cars minimum once every two weeks. No parts are missing.Payment cash on collection in Bournemouth - Dorset
