1965 Lotus Elan S2 Navigation
This Elan was hit badly in the rear and then left in a field in Michigan for nearly 40 years. Classic Motorsports called it 'restoration impossible'. Two years ago the current owners dragged it home and in 14 months completed a restoration in their home workshop. They thank the Lotus community for parts and advice and Classic Motorsports readers for help with the paint.
The 4-cylinder 1588 cc engine produces 125 horsepower.
