The Elite was designed by Peter Kirwan-Taylor along with aerodynamicist Frank Costin, and it features fiberglass bodywork manufactured by the Bristol Aeroplane Company. This example is finished in green and equipped with polished bumpers and trim, a Monza-style fuel cap, and dual exhaust outlets. Exterior imperfections are shown up close in the gallery.
Silver-finished 15″ wire wheels feature two-eared knock-off hubs and wear Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The car rides on independent suspension, and stopping power is provided by hydraulically-actuated four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rears. The brake master cylinder was replaced in September 2022.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in black with color-coordinated door panels and gray carpeting. Equipment includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel, lap belts, and a ZF-branded shift knob. There are imperfections on the dashboard.
The dashboard features a silver trim panel that houses a mix of Smiths and Lucas instruments including a rotated 8k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for amperage, oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer indicates 32k miles, approximately 25k of which have been added by the owner. The engine temperature gauges were replaced in preparation for sale.
The 1.2-liter Coventry Climax inline-four is equipped with dual SU carburetors and a silver valve cover. The cooling system was flushed and the oil was changed in September 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF four-speed manual transmission. The clutch slave cylinder was replaced in preparation for sale.
