Elmco Luxury Royal Ride Golf Cart

Ride Lust is all about mobility in different forms. Therefore, we don’t just write about cars. We also cover unique vehicles.
With that in mind, here are some interesting pics of Randy’s Elmco Luxury Royal Ride Golf Cart.


Randy also gave us this information about his luxury golf cart.
Perhaps, the most luxurious and elegant golf cart you’ve ever seen! Regrettably, these extraordinary vehicles are no longer in production. They are considered classic and are very much sought-after, but only pre-owned vehicles remain available.
This is my “Princess.” She boasts total perfection for the most discriminating individual demanding high quality in precision, obsession and uniqueness in such a “Royal Ride.” Elmco has always been the fore runner when it came to innovation in luxury golf carts. The first Royal Ride proved to be exactly what the discriminating golfer was seeking. From the original Royal Ride Classic, to the luxurious Cadillac cart, Elmco set the standard for all other cart manufacturers. Next came the Royal Ride Sport LE. When first developed in 1992 as a “sportier” version of the Classic Royal Ride, the Sport LE quickly became a very popular model but the developers saw other possibilities. Looking throughout the industry, they found that the only “commercial” models available were your “basic” carts. Typical body styles, two basic seats, occasional drink holders and maybe even a top were commonplace. Why not make this two seater model, the 1997 Sport LE, available for serious commercial use in resorts, private country clubs and public courses?
The Elmco research team worked day and night to develop a stronger and tougher cart to tolerate the additional punishment and wear and tear a commercial cart would be subjected to. Continued field testing and refinements have brought the Royal Ride Sport LE Commercial Edition to where it stands. The industry’s first Luxury Aluminum Club Car Chassis Commercial Golf Cart - worthy of bearing the Elmco badge of Quality and Refinement.
I am the second owner documented by all original, related paperwork and on file. I am not a golfer and she has never seen a country club during my possession. She has been strictly a leisure pursuit, displayed and entered in regional and local classic car show events; taking first place every time. I also hire her for weddings, open houses, parades, sales events and the like; when not used to promote my personal business. If you enjoy pure class, attracting attention, being one-of-a-kind, enjoying prestige like no other … then this vehicle is for you.

Hi: I have an Elmco Royal Ride (Rolls Royce Look). It is, I believe, from the early 80’s.
I am looking for an owners manual, or maintenance manual. Any ideas?
If you want a picture let me know.
John
