Good afternoon!

I have somehow acquired two Elan Plus 2s - one is a part restored JPS from 1974 (built 1973 from the chassis records) complete with new Spyder chassis, rebuilt big valve Twincam but missing all interior, glass and electrics. The other I have acquired as a "donor" car, allegedly another JPS car but apparently resprayed in the 70's in brown (slightly dubious about this but more research to come), no drivetrain and laid up of the last 40 years but only covered 45,000 miles and has all the missing bits for car one. Plan is to complete the first one and take a view on what to do with the remainder!

Welcome!

Nice duo of Elans. I have a register of most of the JPS Plus2S 130s so feel free to PM me details and I shall tell you what I can.
