LOTUS ELAN +2S 130/5
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025 on Sunday the 1st of June, Bicester Heritage, OX26 5HA.
In October 1972 the +2 S 130/5 was launched and as suggested by the name, this final derivative of the Elan was to have a 5-speed gearbox and 'big valve' 1,558cc engine with higher compression for the UK-market
The factory never offered a soft top +2 so a number of Lotus specialists stepped into the breach including, as this example, Hexagon of Highgate
Converted from new in 1973 and first registered in 1974, this very attractive big-valve, 5-speed car is finished in Silk Red with an Oatmeal leatherette interior, Walnut dashboard and Lotus alloys
With its most recent owner and her late husband since 2003
Extensively recommissioned including an engine rebuild in 2019 (£13,500), with details in the file and only 220 miles since
Factory-fitted galvanised chassis (11/11/1996) and has been set up with Pat Thomas suspension/steering and rose-jointed wishbones
Supplied with its history file containing the handbooks, invoices etc., an excellent hood and tonneau and two sets of keys
Not started for some time so an element of recommissioning is to be expected
