Default Lotus Elan 26r Race Car 26-07-07 cage trial fitted

Here are a few pics of a rare (1 of less then 30 from what im told) Lotus Elan 26R race car.
So far its only got the front and rear suspension bolted up and rear diff in, but the spec and attention to detail the car is being built with is of a very high standard.


n/s/f corner, consisting of stainless steel rose jointed wishbones for full geometry adjustability, brass centrelock hub, one off handmade coilover with custom internals and valving.


n/s/r corner. again stainless steel rosejointed wishbone, magnesium alloy upright (extremely light, and bloody expensive) stainless steel dampber body, koni damper with custom valving. stainless steel centrelock hub. stainless heavy duty driveshafts.


a shot of the magnesium cased rear diff and handbrake setup.


complete rear end.


whole chassis


old set of magnesium centrlock revolutions with knock on locks. we are getting a new set of these cast.

The Body will be coming into work this week, getting flipped over onto its roof, all the floor prepped and then painted in satin black ready to be mounted to the chassis. I'll take some pics as the process takes place.
