Description
The classic Lotus notion of 'simplify and add lightness' but with a bit more practicality. The Lotus Elan +2 takes all of the brilliance of the standard Elan roadsters in a sharper 4 seater package. The example we have here today is quite a rare later car in desirable 'S' form, boasting the ultimate Lotus Big Valve engine and a five speed manual transmission.
Its a striking thing to look at, finished in a brilliant red with silver roof panel. Its a lovely looking car and can be considered fundamentally presentable, though like all Lotuses and fibreglass cars of this heritage there is some blemishing and flawing to the paint finish throughout. The interior and cabin look well.
Mechanically things seem to be in good order with the car. We have taken it for a short test drive around our farm and it performed nicely; starting, running, driving and stopping. Though at present it should be noted the pop up headlights can be temperamental to fold down.

About us:
We are a small classic car and camper company that has been buying and
selling vehicles of any age for over 3 decades. We are very friendly,
laugh a lot, enjoy life, and are nicely situated just a few minutes from
the M11 and M25 motorways. So, if you are looking to buy, sell, or just
browse our free website, then Classic Cars and Campers is a name you can
trust.
Terms and Conditions:
All our vehicles are available for viewing and examination before
purchase.
A distance buyer is requested to pay a £500 non-refundable holding
deposit via PayPal or Bank Transfer.
Due to the very nature of older vehicles and their vulnerability to
long-term storage, all our vehicles are sold as unroadworthy and should
not be driven on the public highway until fixed and made roadworthy
(whether showing a current MOT certificate or not).
By agreeing to purchase a vehicle from us, you accept and understand
that using this vehicle on the roads in GB would be unlawful in its
present condition, and that it will not be used on the roads in GB until
it has been put into a lawful condition.
For the reasons mentioned above, all vehicles bought from us must be
trailered away. We can assist all buyers with this request via a very
well-trusted third-party company we use regularly.
All vehicles remain the property of Classic Cars and Campers Ltd until
paid for in full.
Returns Policy
All vehicles bought from us from a distance will qualify for a 14-day
cancellation policy. From the total reimbursement amount, the £500
non-refundable holding deposit will be deducted (to cover our reasonably
incurred costs and losses) and a reasonable figure for any diminished
value. The buyer is responsible for the return cost and all damage
whilst in their possession.
If the sale is concluded on our premises, then the 14-day cancellation
policy does not apply.
If you have any queries on any of the above, please feel free to contact
us via any means to clarify our position.
Purchases are eligible for one week of free storage but will be charged at £25 per day
thereafter"
