Engine no. G/74078458
The Type 76 and Type 84 Lotus Eclat, built from 1974 to 1982 by Lotus Cars, was a front engine rear drive coupe. It was based on the Lotus Elite but it had a fastback body style which offered more practicality with storage in the boot, albeit with less headroom above the rear seats. The Eclat Series 1 (1974-1980) used a 1,973 cc 160 hp Lotus 907 Slant Four engine. Later cars (1980-1982) used a larger 2,174 cc Lotus 912 engine. It produced more torque and thus improved the car's performance. Both were versions of the Lotus 900 engine series, which was also used in naturally aspirated and turbo charged versions in the Lotus Esprit. Early cars either had a four speed Lotus gearbox or the five speed gearbox derived by Lotus from Austin Maxi components. Little is known of the history of this example; it has clearly been off the road for a number of years and it will require a great deal of restoration, however we understand that the engine turns, although is tight. The basis is there however to make a good car and it looks very complete. There are no documents with the car.
