1995 LOTUS ELAN

A limited-edition Elan S2 in Calypso Red with a black leather interior. Out of long-term ownership and now reluctantly only available due to advancing years.

Number 448 out of just 800 ever produced, N856 FLB has had just four owners in total, with the current owner acquiring the vehicle way back in August 1999.

The owner’s handbook shows regular servicing until 2005 (51100 miles) after which, due to very modest usage, the vehicle has been competently home serviced on an ‘as and when required’ basis. A major service was, however, undertaken by marque specialists Hangar 111 in 2016 with work including…

Full service

Fit uprated alloy radiator, heater valve and fully flush system

Replace brake pipes and fit Goodridge braided brake hose kit

Replace engine sump

Rebuild brake calliper and clean brake discs

Also in 2016, the soft top and seals were completely replaced by M100 Hoods in Norfolk and remain in an outstanding condition, with a total bill of just under £2000 at the time.

In preparation for sale, the vehicle has been fully appraised, with any concerns addressed, including…

Full service including all fluids

New spark plugs

Cambelt change

Replace front ball joint

Adjust handbrake

Replace dash gauge bulbs

Replace exhaust clamps

Clean all brake discs

A full road test reveals the vehicle to be in fine fettle and any inspection of its’ wellbeing is to be encouraged. There is probably some room for cosmetic improvement but nothing that will cause immediate concern.

Current mileage is a modest 79590 and the MOT certificate (no advisories) is valid until April 2027.

Located in South Norfolk, the home of Lotus. For further information and to arrange a viewing, please call 07718 385168 – evenings and weekends always a pleasure.
