Christopher Neil Sportscars was a British automotive company based in Northwich, Cheshire, known for its specialization in Lotus vehicles. The company focused on replicating the classic Lotus Elan, leveraging its expertise in Lotus restoration to create a faithful reproduction of the original model.

The primary offering from Christopher Neil Sportscars was the C.N. Sprint, which featured a reproduction backbone chassis complemented by a near-replica fibreglass body. The interior and running gear were designed to closely resemble those of the original Elan. Additionally, the company provided an option for a more modern powertrain, which included the Ford CVH engine, paired with gearboxes from the Ford Cortina or Sierra, along with Triumph front hubs.

Through its efforts, Christopher Neil Sportscars contributed to the preservation and appreciation of classic British sports cars, particularly the Lotus Elan, by providing enthusiasts with an alternative that combined traditional design with modern engineering.
