• Finished in elegant Regency Red (L11) with a contrasting Oatmeal interior, this appealing Lotus Elan combines timeless styling with the celebrated agility for which the marque is renowned
• Dating from June 1973, it was built in left-hand drive to the Federal / Export specification, which originally featured twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors 
• Acquired by the present custodian some five years ago, the car has since been converted to right-hand drive and benefited from a comprehensive rebuild, with considerable investment directed towards its mechanical integrity and overall presentation
• The chassis has been replaced with a new Spyder frame and the suspension and braking systems have received extensive attention, including new suspension components, brake discs, calipers and brake lines
• Electrical reliability has been addressed through the installation of a new wiring harness, while the radiator has been reconditioned and a replacement fuel tank fitted
• Further improvements include new tyres, carpets and roof lining, enhancing both its road-going credentials and interior presentation.
• Particularly noteworthy is the installation of a new Spyder headlamp kit, addressing the reliability issues often associated with the Elan’s electrically operated pop-up headlights
• Benefiting from a substantial programme of renewal, this desirable Elan +2S represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a much-loved example of one of Colin Chapman’s most celebrated designs.
