Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Could some one I.D this for me. It doesn't look like my later column on my Plus 2.

Thanks,

It looks very like the column on my S3, and a bit like that on my Europa TC except that I don't see a lock.

It's an early Elan/Triumph Spitfire/Triumph Herald column which presumably doesn't have the steering lock capability of later cars.

It looks like it post dates the early Type26 cars because the pair of switch cowlings look as if they are plastic (rather than metal).

The switches aren't Type26 either.

If it is a locking column there will be a hole about half way down.

Thanks boys. I bought a box of Lotus parts and this was the only one I couldn't I.D.
And yes, the surround is plastic.

Looks like my S3/SS, though the headlamp dip switch is blanked on my column.

Looks like a S1-S3 column assembly with the added dimmer switch from Triumph, just like my S2. Same for Europas up until locking columns and the later Special affair.
