1960 Lotus Elite Navigation
Engineer Colin Chapman built a succession of very successful racing cars that won championships in Grand Prix racing as well as at Indianapolis. His Lotus Cars organization also developed road cars with remarkably deft handling characteristics, beginning in 1959 with the Elite, which featured lightweight fiberglass monocoque construction.
This 1960 Elite coupe has had the same owner for 42 years. It was raced in vintage motorsports events from 1974 through 1983, then returned to street configuration. It has not been restored and shows more than 175,000 miles on its odometer.
