This Lotus is easily the lowest mile, nicest Lotus Elan +2S anywhere. Lovely condition in Old English White with a black interior and silver factory pin drives. This is a frame-off restored car with full photo documentation and all factory books and records. West coast car (originally Nevada, then Washington State), never rusted and never hit, with only 29, 000 miles and it drives like new.
Featuring a 1600cc TwinCam Dual Carb Engine, 4-speed Manual Transmission, 3.55 Rearend, Power Windows, Power 4-Wheel Disc Brakes, Rack & Pinion Steering, Beautiful Burled Walnut Dash, 140 MPH Speedometer, 8000 RPM Tachometer, Smiths Water Temp/Oil Pressure/Amps/Ambient Temp Gauges, Retractable Headlights, Factory Fog Lights, Air Horns, Quick-Fil Gas Cap, Factory Pin-Drive Knock-Off Wheels, and Radials.
The factory Twin Cam 1600cc engine with dual Zenith Stroberg carbs is factory stock and unmodified. It starts immediately and settles into a smooth idle with an aggressive exhaust note from teh new factory-correct exhaust. No mechanical issues; no smoke; no leaks; no noises. It pulls hard through the rev range and, weighing only 2, 000 pounds, accelerates like a small block Corvette.
The 4-speed manual transmission shifts perfectly, and the 3.55 rearend provides relaxing cruising. Light weight, quick throttle response, four wheel independent suspension, low effort rack & pinion steering, and power 4-wheel disc brakes all provide one of the best sports car drives from the glory days of Europe. Priced higher than a Corvette and equivalent to a Porsche 911 when new, these cars drive nicer than either make.
The documentation includes the original owner's manual, original service pamphlet, 1971 bill-of-sale from England, original bill-of-sale, all original correspondence, factory service manual, the receipts from the recent frame-off restoration.
