Description of 1974 Lotus Other

Original factory paint- black with gold pin stripes - champagne interior. 3 owner car - 27M actual miles - 1600cc twin overhead cam Lotus Ford engine.Two Zenith carbs- 5 speed transmission- body and interior in good to very good shape- always garage stored.They are original only once.
This is NOT a numbered JPS car.This is an original unrestored car that has had the following: removed the brake boosters (they did not work), ypassed them and replaced both the brake master cylinder and front calipers. The boosters are included in the sale.Flushed the brake system and installed new fluid. The electric fan was inefficient and replaced iwith a modern unit. Rebuilt the carbs with new parts and replaced the points, ondenser with a Petronix electronic ignition kit. Installed a new rotor, ap, ires and plugs. New battery, resh oil and and air filter. Tried to keep the tires but they had dried out and were replaced with correct 175 front and 185 rears. The car was so clean when I got it that I did not even need to wash it or vacuum the interior. It is missing the front floor mats, hey were replaced with coco mats. The paint is original. Rebushed and adjusted the shifting linkage, t works fine now. The rev counter does not work, have been told it is because of the electronic ignition, ut I do not know for sure.It has the original documentation and wheel center caps that go with the car.In the past month or so the car has been professionally sanded and buffed. All chips and nicks repaired. The original paint is now even better. All 4 wheels have been blasted and refinished with new centercaps. The motor has been serviced, ll new fluids, lugs and carb adjustment. A header has been installed and the crossover pipes and canister have been removed. The original parts are included with the sale.All new front suspension bushings and 4 new Spax coilovers. Car has been aligned, heels balanced and corner balanced. It handles like nothing you've ever driven.I will submit more and better pics once I can get the car out of the snowed in garage.
If the car meets my price I will include a brand new in the box Wood Dash from Madera Concepts.
Car is in Maryland with clear MD title in my name. No games no stories. Please only ask questions about the car that are not in the listing. This is a serious auction. 240-626-9032
