Summary
This 1966 Lotus Elan S2 is a 92k-mile California car with a rebuilt 1557cc inline-four and 4-speed manual gearbox. Originally red, it was repainted grey and then British Racing Green, with the current paint showing age and cracking. The interior features preserved black vinyl upholstery under sheepskin covers, though minor oil/water leaks and an audible gear noise after a differential repair are noted.
