Original Color For Elan S2

PostPost by: robb4100 » Thu Jul 29, 2004 3:29 am

A couple weeks ago I stumbled upon a site where one could find the color for a given chassis number. I seem to recall that you sent someone the chassis number and they could look up the original color. I have not seen any color codes on my chassis.

The car is a 1965 S-2 elan.

The chassis number won't have a color code but I think there's a historian at Lotus who, when given a chassis number, can tell you how the car left the factory. I'll try to find his name.
