1962 Lotus Elite S2 Super 95

We are pleased to offer for sale this lovely Lotus Elite S2 (Super 95 as per it's original green log book) - A car so good, that its current owner has bought it twice!

Chassis No. 1605 was first registered on 1st July 1962 to a Joyce Bradbury of Gloucestershire. After seeing four more owners during the 1960s - during which time it's colour was changed from red to white - the Elite was then bought by a gentleman in 1970 who cherished it for over 20 years.

In 1993, it was sold to its current owner (for the first time) and he set about refurbishing the vehicle.

In 2001, once the car was finished, it was sold and exported to an Austrian gentleman, whom kept it for six years before passing it on to a new owner in Holland.

It was here that the car was subject to its second mechanical rebuild as the Dutch owner set about documenting the cars full history.

When the car came back up for sale in 2017, the current owner could not resist the pleasure of owning it once again. He had previously enjoyed driving the vehicle so much, he wanted to re-live the experience.

However with all good things, they must come to an end and it has now become the time to pass this superb vehicle on to a new custodian.

The Super 95 - confirmed as such by its original green logbook - is a matching numbers car, running on twin SU's, with the larger Le Mans fuel tank and filler. It now comes fitted with the upgraded MK14 Components 5 speed gearbox; which makes driving on motorways and modern driving conditions an absolute joy.

Paintwork is still in excellent condition, as is the interior and engine bay. A large documents file and photographic record of the car and renovation are all present as is a raft of invoices, confirming parts expenditure over the years. The odometer is currently reading 9652 miles, but due to having several owners internationally, and after two mechanical rebuilds we have no way to confirm the exact mileage.

Automotive Sporting Heritage in partnership with MK14 Components are specialists in the Lotus Elite. As such, we have comprehensively examined this Elite, and produced our 130 point vehicle check report which comes with the car. Our findings confirm that this Super 95; that has received so much attention all it's life, is in supreme condition and ready to be enjoyed with no major faults or problems found.

As always, we would be happy to discuss with the potential new owners, long term servicing needs, parts supply, repair work and general information on owning and running and Elite.
