Any Lotus Elite (Type 14, 1958-63) owners, former or current, here? Any advice for someone considering buying one? Thanks.

Bill Hutton lives here in Clarksville. I've met him several times and been privileged to see his shop here. He's well known in the world of Lotus Elites. Not much he doesn't know about them. I'd be happy to have another excuse to drop by! (Actually, he also owns a monument company here, so we've crossed paths with that as well!)

Thanks Mickey. If Bill knows of any Elites for sale, I'd appreciate a lead.

There is a project Elite on Bring A Trailer now. I think he wants too much for it and he has no papers. Scary.
The Elite has been at the top of my dream list since they were new.
By all means talk to Mike Ostrov.

Thanks. I've talked with Mike and sent follow-up email with a few more questions.
No projects for me. I enjoy driving cars, not spending the rest of my life hemorraging cash correcting others' neglect and abuse of them

I posted this link under "other British Cars" I forgot Lotus had their own forum anyway, sharp looking car: https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nic...0?item=370744062060&ViewItem=&forcev4exp=true Just a little over my discretionary spending budget though....
