“I drive my Elan for pleasure – Not because I have to” (Jim Clark)
1965 Lotus Elan 26”R”
Ticks all boxes
FIA HTP, Road Registration, New certified cage
Eligible for just about everything
 
 
Like all Lotuses, the 26R values low weight over power. This example was built by leading specialist Wolfgang Kirsten in Germany and has won the FHR HTGT championship.
In 2023 the car was professionally rebuilt and was equipped with a new latest spec FIA certified Safety Cage.  
 
This spectacular Lotus Elan is a very competitive device and eligible for all important events like the Peter Auto series, Masters Racing, Spa 3 and 6 hours, The International SuperSixties championship and many more. 
This little gem could be your race weapon for the new season at a price well below the cost to build one.
