Description
For sale Lotus Elan Plus 2 130S/ 5 1973 Original Cirrus White
You could buy Colin Chapman’s Plus 2 or Ronnie Peterson’s, both going to be on the market soon. Or you could spend a lot less on this one and get the same special effects.
I bought this car from UK Sportcars, since then I have had a lot done at Paul Matty and Chris Foulds. That includes
New wing mirrors
New steering rack
Boot refit
New silencer bracket and end pipe
New clutch slave cylinder
Reconditioned brake servo
New GRP tunnel and vinyl
Mileage is 86361, Always garaged in my ownership in heated dry garage. MOTs in hand back to 1979.
Always with current MOT. Zero road tax rate.
The car is running very well and is reliable and mechanically in very good shape, the stainless exhaust note is just right. Some cosmetic issues, commensurate with a 50 year old car but it’s always nice to have something to do. I think if you have run a classic Lotus you will understand. I can go over this with anyone who is interested. Big file of receipts and work going all the way back.
5th gear is a 0. 8 ratio overdrive, so the car can be driven on the motorway and keeps up with the traffic. This is the Ford Lotus twin cam “big valve” offering 128 bhp, out of the factory in 1973 that is.
Car comes with
2 original sets of keys
Original owner’s manual
Lotus letter and certificate of provenance
Original Metallifacture jack
New smaller scissor jack which I keep in the car.
Hammer and hex tool for spinners
Lotus logo mats
Lotus C of A and archive letter
Price £19, 999. Located near Halifax, West Yorks.
