Tony Thompson Racing Lotus Elan Race Preparation & Performance Specialists - Parts provider for Elan 26R, GTS, S1, S2, S3, +2, Cortina, Elite, 22/23, 27, 47 and Europa.

Tony Thompson began business in 1975 selling and servicing light commercial vehicles and high performance cars. He started racing in 1980 with the Historic Sports Car Club with a Lotus Elan S4, finishing 3rd in his first championship year. In 1981 Tony purchased a full race Lotus Elan 26R, but soon discovered he had difficulty in obtaining any spare parts he required, so he began manufacturing his

own high quality spare parts from his workshop, other owners soon started purchasing parts from Tony and the part time hobby rapidly developed into a full time occupation. By 1985 this had become the major part of the business and In 1990 he started to race prepare cars for his customers.

After some bad luck for a customer of ours, it looked at one point like he could part ways with his Elan. However with some fresh technical help and new parts, a solid winter rebuild by 24-7 Motorsport he is back out again enjoying his beautifully rebuilt Lotus Elan. As a business we love to help our customers and it’s seeing posts like this, that is what it’s all about. ✔️🔝 🏎️ 💨

After a years full build including a complete new chassis and body supplied by we head back to our local for our official "Test" session. John successfully completed a mild shake down 2 weeks ago resulting in a very small snag list. A great testament to the whole 24-7 crew.

John plans to race the Elan in 2026 with the fantastic series.
