In current ownership since 1976. Continuation logbook from 1976. MOT certificate from 1977 at a recorded 57,317 miles. Vehicle inspection report from club Lotus in 2021 verifying the cars identity. Vendor states: 1968 Lotus Elan S4 – Barn Find – Remarkably Original Example First registered in 1968, this Lotus Elan S4 presents as a truly rare discovery: a long-term barn find that has remained in single local ownership for decades and offers collectors the chance to acquire an exceptionally original car with documented history. Finished in white, this example retains its non-transferrable registration mark and has been locally owned since 1976. In 1978, the then-owner was posted to Germany with the RAF, at which point the Elan was taken off the road and carefully stored in a private garage. On his return in 1981, the car remained laid-up and would spend over 40 years in the same garage before being sold. An application for a current registration document was made in 2021, at which time Club Lotus Norfolk inspected the car. Their report confirmed that it is both complete and highly original, fitted with the correct period components to factory specification. The VIN plate is present and correctly mounted, and the original VE60 registration document conclusively ties the car to its registration. Photocopies of authentic original documents, along with a series of historic MOT certificates, accompany the sale. The last MOT was recorded in 1977, showing a mileage of 57,317 miles. The odometer today reads 60,832 miles, consistent with its careful storage and limited use since. Notably, this Elan has been preserved rather than dismantled or tampered with, making it an excellent candidate for sympathetic restoration. Powered by the famed 1558cc twin-cam engine, the Lotus Elan S4 is widely regarded as one of the most engaging lightweight British sports cars of its era. With Colin Chapman’s hallmark balance of performance and handling, the Elan continues to hold a place as one of the defining classic sports cars. Offered from long-term storage and presenting with an outstanding degree of originality, this 1968 Elan S4 represents a rare opportunity for the discerning collector or restorer.
