Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Hello my name is Ross and I am team manager of John Danby Racing. We prepare/support 3 Appendix K S1/2 Lotus Elan's in various historic race meetings.
We have made/developed many parts etc. for the Elan so hopefully can pass on some of that knowledge and offer services to other forum members.

Salut Ross

I'll be interested in what you offer if it can be used on a +2.

Hi Vernon,

Appendix K is the FIA regulations that the cars are built to for historic race events. Basically you have to follow the period homologation for parts + modern safety equipment.

Hi Ross

What seats do you fit in your Elans and how do you secure them. I race a very low budget Elan in Group S Production Sports Cars historic racing here in Australia and I am interested in the approach you have adopted.

Hi Rohan,

We use Tillett B6F seats with custom mounts and then spreader plates underneath the body. I will take some pictures tomorrow for you and post them here.
