LOTUS ELAN S4

2-seater sports, coupè.

Recognisable by its wide wheel arches to take low-profile tyres, servo brakes (now standard) and rocker-type switches. Watch out for carburettor permutations, such as Strombergs between November '68 and August '69, with a reversion thereafter to Webers, and an eight-port head.
