For Sale Elan Plus 2 s 1970
Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2016 11:16 amHello Gents, I recently purchased this Lotus Elan with the romantic notion of restoring it to its former glory, but unfortunately I'm struggling with space to do the project.
It is an original full car but has not been run for seven years. It has not been subjected to a rebuild before and I have not tried to get it running, although if you rock the car gently in 2nd gear the crank does turn. I was informed that the car was running when it was parked up and showed good compression in all cylinders. The car has done 65000 miles and has a pile of previous MOTs and receipts to suggest it is true. The car has been resprayed in white at sometime in its life from its original blue colour (poorly if might add) and now the paint is flaking although there is no staring. With incomplete cars fetching between ?10k to ?13k for restoration I feel that ?12k is a fair asking price or I would consider a swap for an Elise.
