Lotus Elite S1 (1958–1963) Stainless Steel Front Grille Surround

New mirror-polished 304 stainless steel front grille surround for the Lotus Elite Series 1.

The Elite was the world's first production car with a glass-fibre monocoque: no steel chassis, just a few reinforcements embedded in the resin, for a weight of barely over 500 kg. Its lines were the work of Peter Kirwan-Taylor, an accountant and friend of Colin Chapman, refined by aerodynamicist Frank Costin to a drag coefficient of around 0.29; with its small Coventry Climax engine, it took one class win after another at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
