jeff oakley Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This is a 1968 Lotus Elan Plus2 which I have decided the time to sell is now. The price I would like is £2750 or offer As with all these things it was bought when full of good intentions but as you can see this is a project so be under no illusions. I bought this with my Father in Law and the intention was to build it together with a new Spyder Chassis and a 2.0ltr Zetec etc. Sadly he died before we could make a start and here it has sat since 2016. I paid a lot for this but I am realistic that it has to go as I cannot bring myself to start it. The chassis has some rot at the front which I am told is reparable, however when there is a replacement Chassis on EBay for £500 why would you? As my plan was to use a Spyder Chassis that was of no importance to me. There is no engine and box with the car. It is fitted with a very rare Tinted wind screen and a typically 80's sunroof which a webasto would replace or could be refilled. There are lots of trim parts with it but some parts will be missing but as spares for these are very good that is not an issue. It does roll okay. Obviously when completed it will be tax and MOT free and the log book is in my name and it is on SORN. I can send more photographs if required As I said it has to go so no reasonable offer will be refused. I reiterate it is a project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved that car. It's still going according to the MOT history check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
