1972 Lotus Elan Plus2 S130 - Chicago area - SOLD
Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2021 6:02 pmRebuild/Restore project. 44,000 miles, has not been running in 38 years. It has been in a dry garage the entire time, but of course would require a complete rebuild.
Provenance: This is the car (not just one like it) that was used for the November 1972 Motor Trend review. I purchased the demo a year old from the Southern California distributor in 1973.
Condition: Stock, except that in 1975 the Rotoflex couplings were replaced with CV Joints. In 1979, the car was struck by another car in a parking lot, and needs body work on the right front fender (see photo). I have the replacement part for the turn signal, but the body work was never done.
Nearly 2000 Saturdays have passed without my getting around to working on this car. It is someone else’s turn.
Price: Best offer. Contact me at fred.m.behlen *at* gmail.com or (708) 567-2446. Strong preference will be given to someone who credibly intends to restore it. Not just a source of parts.
