⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The Elan +2S is the most usable of all of the Elans; adding a little extra practicality to its wonderful driving experience.

Considered as the family man's Lotus, the +2S version was introduced in 1969. The increased dimensions also came with a plushness to both its ride and furnishings, which signalled Lotus’ intent to position the brand further upmarket. The longer wheelbase allowed a more seductive body style, while retaining the steel backbone chassis and twin-cam engines. When new, the Elan +2S was just £50 cheaper than the entry-level Jaguar E-type, so Lotus needed to make sure its dynamics, comfort and accommodation were right. Becoming the company's first fully built factory car, the bigger dimensions allow rear seating, a usable boot and far more accommodation space, helping to place the Elan as a genuine long-distance touring car. While it is recognised as the most usable of all the Elans, it never strayed far from its racing roots.

Coming from ~8 year ownership with our vendor, this well-presented 1969 +2S is finished in "Lotus Yellow" with a black interior. It is a RHD UK spec car that has spent much of its life in Sweden, and saw a body and paint restoration shortly after coming back into the UK in 2016. It has over £3,000 worth of invoices, including a carb rebuild and head skim. It comes with two keys and is MOT and is road tax exempt, happy motoring.
