Conceived by the Lotus Sales Director the Sprint’s most notable feature was the horizontally-split two-tone paintwork.
A new big-valve cylinder head with high-lift cams and a raised compression ratio and Webers provided a 25% increase in power to 126bhp. The drivetrain was suitably toughened and braced and the front callipers were redesigned to cope with the increased performance.

With ongoing maintenance over the years she was extensively restored around 2003 including new chassis, engine rebuild ,unleaded conversion, Suspension, brakes, body strip and high quality repaint which is still presenting beautifully today.
All the work is documented and there is a very thorough history file mostly populated with invoices from the UK’s respected Lotus specialists, mot certificates, and thousands have been spent ensuring she is one of the best looking and driving Sprints available.
Many motoring enthusiasts claim that the Sprint is their favourite driving machine and any serious driver will agree once you sample the fluidity of the chassis the lightness of the controls and the evocative sound of the race bred twin cam.
