Ideal for historic racing, or the thrill of owning a piece of Lotus history.

The Lotus Mk VI was Colin Chapman's first production car, albeit they were supplied in kit form to their owners. As its basis was a tubular space frame chassis that weighted only 25kg and the total weight of the car was around 435kg. A variety of engines and gearboxes were used in the cars, dependent on owner preferences.

One of the purest Lotus driving experiences you will ever have.
