A Rare Late-Production MK1
Among the MK1 models, the Series 2 stands apart as a particularly rare variant, produced for only a short period and surviving today in very limited numbers. This late-production MK1 reflects a stronger Lotus-led design philosophy, offering a more authentic expression of Lotus engineering and character. For enthusiasts and collectors alike, the Series 2 delivers a driving experience that truly captures the essence of Lotus.
A True Homologation Model with Deep Lotus Involvement
The MK1 Series 2 represents one of the most authentic Ford × Lotus collaborations—developed with motorsport competition firmly in mind. As a late-production homologation model, it was built not merely as a road car, but as a machine engineered to qualify for racing. Though produced as a street-legal vehicle, the MK1 Series 2 carries unmistakable racing DNA, reflecting Lotus’s hands-on involvement in its development and design. Finished in the iconic Ermine White with Sherwood Green side stripes, this classic color scheme is instantly recognizable and synonymous with the model’s motorsport heritage.
Timeless Performance from the Twin-Cam Engine
Power comes from the legendary 1.6-liter Lotus-Ford Twin Cam engine, delivering a driving experience that remains engaging even by modern standards. Its light weight and responsive nature contribute to the car’s agile handling and unmistakable sense of fun behind the wheel. The engine is based on Ford’s 1558cc block, paired with a Lotus-designed aluminum twin-cam cylinder head—a configuration that became a benchmark for performance engineering of its era. With a factory output of approximately 105–115 bhp (78–85 kW), it offered exceptional high-revving capability and a level of sporting performance that was remarkable at the time.
Enhanced Body Rigidity with Roll Bar Installation
A roll bar has been fitted inside the cabin to reinforce overall body rigidity. This upgrade improves structural stiffness, contributing to greater stability and confidence during spirited driving.
