Selling or Buying a 1962 Lotus Elite?

Introduced in 1957, the Lotus Elite Type 14 was the first Elite and was produced from 1958 to 1963 in two series. The model’s most distinguishable feature was its advanced fiberglass monococque fabrication, which made the car extra light. As a result, the Elite didn’t need a large engine with crazy horsepower. Its aluminum, straight-four unit with a capacity of 1.2 liters delivered 85 hp and was linked to a smooth and precise ZF gearbox for the SE editionSpecial Equipment. According to a road test by The Motor magazine in 1960, the Lotus Elite could reach a top speed of 112 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 11.4 seconds. The 1962 Lotus Elite S2 featured revised rear suspension and a more luxurious interior.
