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.

What an action packed weekend at Silverstone for the Equipe Summer Classic. Saturday saw the Lotus Elan 60th anniversary race, the turnout and customer support was incredible. To see so many Elan’s was simply spectacular and a memorable occasion. Massive thanks to all of those involved and for all the continued support. 🏎️ 💨 🏁 🏆

Eddy, Stuart, Tony

I would like to thank you again for the parts that you provided for the rebuilt of the car. We had a very successfull season with only two outings but twice it translated in a class win.
In June I ended up first in class in the Ardennes challenge race of the Summer Classic weekend at Spa.

A week ago I finished first in class in the one hour Barry tribute race during the Spa six hours weekend. Starting from a 50th place I ended up as 14th overall.

The car has been super reliable and very fast which is only possible due to the quality of the parts that you sell.

KInd regards and talk to you soon

Walter Vicca
