About this car

The Elan Plus 2 S130/5 is the final form of Lotus's longer, wider grand-touring take on the Elan, fitted with the five-speed gearbox. This 1974 car has been rebuilt from a galvanised Lotus chassis upwards, with roughly 3,000 miles covered since the work was completed.

It is finished in its original Lagoon Blue metallic (LO12) with the correct silver metal-flake roof, over an oatmeal interior with a new matching carpet set. The engine has been rebuilt by Kelvedon Lotus Ltd, with a new clutch fitted at the same time. The brake callipers have been rebuilt, a new servo fitted, and the Lotus alloys and chrome spinners refurbished.

A file of invoices documents the work. The car is offered serviced and with a current MOT.
