Summary
This 1956 Lotus Eleven Le Mans (chassis #180) was campaigned by Club Lotus Team member Tony Ellis in the 1950s and has since been raced extensively by the current owner. The 1,460cc Coventry Climax four was rebuilt in 2016 with dual Weber carburetors and Carrillo rods, backed by a Sprite close-ratio 4-speed gearbox and Quaife limited-slip differential. It shows wear from track use and is offered with a VSCCA logbook, SVRA certification, and spares.
