Lotus also used just "Plus 2" in its material for a period and droppped the Elan either in front or behind

Hi Everyone

Interesting this "Plus 2" vs "Elan +2" comment. I too was always under the impression that the "Elan" name was dropped in the latter years of production, however, my car, a '73 UK spec. 130/5, most definatly has an "Elan+2" badge on the side (there's a "World Champion Car Constructor" badge opposit on the other side). Also, the '72 edition of owners handbook which came with the car has the title "Lotus Elan +2" on the cover

Regards
Andy

Yup, mine's an Elan too. It's not a Lotus Plus 2. :roll:
