Just found this ad for a 1974 Lotus Elite, I’ve never seen one of these before.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Funky looking car, oh so 70's the wedge, the brown, bumpers. Also noticed it looks like it has gas caps on both sides, I wonder if they are both real, or if some one just reeeally liked symmetry.

I always thought they looked like a stretched AMC Gremlin.

If you have 10 grand to dump into it, OK. If you also have 2 or 3 grand a year to dump into it after that, fine. And a top level AAA membership. Or own a towing company.

Or a Miata driveline to drop in it.

Looks like someone has already “tinkered” with the engine. Wow that interior is hideous and screams 70's. I like the shape but a car definitely only for a knowledgeable Lotus collector.
