LOTUS Type 26R LOTUS Color: GREEN The lot is exposed 1 rue Gaston Chevrolet à Vignoles (21200) Expertise: Patrick Michalik Serial number: 26/4407 Administrative document: Certificate of registration foreign - Technical control. Date of registration : 16/04/1965 Approximately 8000 km. In 1962 the Lotus brand released the revolutionary 25 Grand Prix, the first real monocoque and the revolutionary 26 or "Elan", a road car just as revolutionary. The first one will allow to win the first races in the world championship and the Elan to impose the brand on the sector of the sports cars. A sportier version of the Elan, the Elan 26R, was offered with a roadster body, a roll bar and a separate hardtop. Fully homologated during the 1964 season, the race car weighed about 600 kg and its 1558 cc could produce between 160 and 175 HP depending on the settings. Its closest rival was the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ. Our example benefited from a nice preparation (forged pistons, forged steel connecting rods etc), invoice in support. A set of spare parts will also be given to the buyer (starter, alternator, transmission, headlights etc..). Very competitive, this car can be presented in many historical races.
