Summary
This 1960 Lotus Elite S1, chassis #1151, is a rare right-hand drive example sold new in the US, having been with only three owners since new. It underwent a comprehensive three-year restoration completed in 2016 by Miller Vintage Auto, with fewer than 400 miles added since, and retains its original 1.2-liter Coventry Climax inline-four engine.
