Description
Offered for sale is my beautifully presented Lotus Elan Plus 2S, combining the timeless elegance of one of Britain’s most iconic sports GTs with the confidence and reliability of a professionally upgraded Spyder chassis conversion. To see a short film about the car made before I bought and refreshed her follow the link: - details above in classic white with distinctive gold accents, matching gold wheels, and subtle racing stripes, this Plus 2S is an eye-catching example that attracts admiration wherever it goes. The interior retains the traditional Lotus feel while the mechanical upgrades transform the driving experience. The centrepiece of this car is its Spyder spaceframe chassis conversion, replacing the original rust-prone Lotus steel backbone with a far stronger, lighter and more rigid spaceframe. This significantly improves chassis stiffness, handling, durability and long-term ownership while preserving the character that made the Elan famous. The Spyder conversion is widely regarded as one of the most desirable upgrades available for an Elan, making this car equally suited to enthusiastic road driving, touring or classic car events. In addition the Ford Zetec 2 litre 16 valve engine gives ample power for this little car to embarrass some expensive, modern “fast” metal.

I have spent a substantial amount of money having new carpeting fitted, new Moto-Lita wheel, new wiring loom, the boot was a shell, it now has a safe fixed bed.
