Corgi Model Club 318 Lotus Elan S2

The Lotus Elan S2 was an iconic British sports car of the 1960s, designed by Colin Chapman and produced by Lotus between 1964 and 1966. Lightweight, agile, and ahead of its time, the Elan quickly became a symbol of elegance and performance. The model gained additional fame after being driven by the character Emma Peel in the TV series The Avengers, further cementing the Elan's cult status.

Corgi released the miniature version in 1966 as number 318. As was typical of Corgi at the time, the model was notable for its exquisite detailing and play features. Original examples of the Lotus Elan S2 are now highly sought after by collectors, especially those complete with their boxes.

To bring this classic back to life, the Corgi Model Club has released a faithful reissue. Featuring the same attention to detail, original packaging, and authentic design, this reissue offers collectors the chance to own a piece of toy history without the fragility or rarity of the original version.

This example is in excellent condition and comes with the original reissue box, making it a valuable and complete collector's item. A wonderful reimagining of one of Corgi's most elegant sports cars in miniature form.
