1960 Lotus Elite Navigation
Jay Chaberlain was the first Lotus dealer in America and sold the majority of Series I Elites. During his long career he raced several Elites. Most were painted in his racing colors, Red body with a silver accent scallop on the nose. He preferred number 52 (the number of cards in a game, because he liked to call life: 'a game of chance'), but depending on availability he would run 152 or even 153.
