1969 LOTUS ELAN PLUS 2
Registration No: YWE 600G


A 1969 Lotus Elan Plus 2 S, registration number YWE 600G, maroon and silver. The Lotus Plus 2 was the start of Colin Chapman's up market push to distance his cars away from the kit car image they had and was the first Lotus not to be offered in kit form. Based on the successful Elan, the Plus 2 had a longer chassis which allowed the fitting of occasional rear seats. The model had several improvements over its production run including increases in power and finally the fitting of a five speed gearbox. The example we have the pleasure in offering for auction has been in storage since its last MOT expired in 2012. The car has benefited from a replacement Spider chassis and suspension undertaken by a previous owner. In the current ownership the engine has recently just been rebuilt (will require running in), with new valves, guides, seats, oil pump, rings, timing chain, gaskets, etc. The Weber twin carburettors have been rebuilt, the clutch has been replaced and the brakes have been overhauled. The Lotus also benefits from a stainless steel exhaust. We are advised that the interior would benefit from some attention to the upholstery and the exterior paint work is presentable but would benefit from a respray. This Lotus now offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a true classic with room for improvement when time and funds allow. V5C, no MOT See illustrations.
