To ultimate +2 specification with the 'Big Valve' engine and five-speed manual gearbox
Supplied new by Hargreaves & Bailey of Blackpool
In need of recommissioning after a period of dry storage
Offered with a collection of invoices
77, 262 credible miles recorded
Finished in its original shade of Roman Purple Metallic
Progressively evolved, the ultimate +2 boasted a 130bhp, 1. 6 litre ‘twin-cam’ engine and five-speed manual transmission. Of the 5, 200 made, just 1, 200 2+2-seater Elans are thought to have survived.
This UK market Lotus Elan +2 offered here, was built on 3rd January 1974 and supplied new by Hargreaves & Bailey of Blackpool to a Mrs. B. Y. Soper, being handed over to her on the 28” January 1974. Unusually, originally ordered in a single colour, Roman Purple Metallic (L21) with what we believe was an Oatmeal interior, the Lotus Certificate of Vehicle Provenance on file also confirms that the car was specified as the ultimate +2 specification with the 'Big Valve' engine and five-speed manual gearbox, which is still in the car, with the speedo displaying c. 77, 262 miles.
A letter from Mr Andy Graham at the Lotus Archives, dated 25th April 2016, states:
'The VIN supplied for your Lotus Elan +2 was 73121897L which can be broken down into the build date (7312=1973, December)…... The original engine number was P/ 37656 which can be broken down into the model and market the engine was made for (P=Elan +2S 130 with big valves & high compression for the domestic market). The original body colour was all Roman Purple Metallic, Lotus paint code L21, while it was standard for the +2S 130 to have a silver metal flake roof, it is recorded your car had a body colour roof and many of the later +2S 130 models also had a body colour roof. The interior trim was not recorded; this was either black or oatmeal.'
Wearing ‘S130/ 5’ badges, representing the 130 engine with the 5-speed manual gearbox, the car has been in current ownership since 2017, it is believed the car has also spent some time in Italy. An older restoration the +2 is currently in need of recommissioning after a period of dry storage. Offered with a collection of invoices, this Elan +2 will require some recommissioning.
