    Very excited that we just bought a lotus elan 2+. It has a rare block and is very strait original car. The lines are something else. I've never seen lines like this on a lotus. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Very cool (pun intended). I am a Lotus fan & always liked the +2. Does your's have the 5 speed?

    Is it sitting a bit high? I don't recall any Elan variant having that much wheel gap.

    The Plus 2 was a step up from the 2-seater. Neat looking car. Hope it brings a lot of enjoyment.

    Guessing the Lotus is in its new home. Congratulations.

    I am sure it'll need some tinkering (headlights? - the vacuum assist on the original Élan was always a bit suspect, causing one to droop!). Have fun!

    What's under the red car cover?

    I think that's a good guess, but color could suggest a 355. Perhaps "OC" will reveal.

    Elan Plus 2's are great cars, had a lovely white one come through my shop a few years back.
