In the 1990s, this Elfin was restored and prepared for Vintage Racing. The car was purchased by Shairon Beale in the late 1990's to accompany her 1962 Lotus 22 JF for Vintage Racing weekends. This Elfin is based off of the Lotus 23B with unique and stunning body work. This is a rare piece of 1960's sports car history as this is the last of 5 Elfin Mallala's produced and the only one to ever come stateside.
