Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

evening all.

last year i brought 2 cars which were associated with Ken Myers which i have since decided to pass on, hopefully to a member who will get the cars back to mint condition and use them.

for that kind of money, you'd think they'd be able to clean up the engine bay a bit?

I think cars look better if they are left in as found condition, it's more honest so a potential purchaser can see precisely what they are buying.

Is the Sprint fhc the car that Ken Meyers bought from the factory as a kit and then stored for a few years before building it?

many thanks for all the interest,

really sorry to everybody that expressed interest but have changed my mind and have asked Neil to restore both cars which was my original plan.

the Jochen Rindt S4 is nearly finished and will post pictures,

best wishes to all members,

Hi Everybody,

All the best,

Beautiful. Nice job.

Great color! Can you share what the color name is?

Thanks

Dave

Great colour on the Rindt car Derek - thanks for helping me with that, mine is nearly finished too.

Just out of interest, I nearly had that JPS Plus 2 before you got it. Seller was 'challenging', to say the least !

The colour is Royal Blue, Lotus code LO 9, only available from Oct 68 - Oct 70.

Coming along nicely, Deryck.
