Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Dear All
Have just spent the last half -hour trawling through the archives to see if anyone had collated a list of steering wheel types with respect to Make,Model,Year etc but No
Does anyone have a well informed list?
Diameters,Dish,Wood,Leather,Plastic,Holes,Slots Horn-pushes???

Please....

Thank you

John

Maybe I could start it off with Diameter Elans 14" , Plus2's 15".

I'm sure there was an article in Club Lotus magazine not long ago, probably longer than I think. Tim co-wrote it with elanintheforest.

Yep, we did. Here it is:

Hi Tim

In the table you list the Plus 2 S130 as having the Chapman signature - my 73 car does not have a signature but all the other details are the same. But given its a Lotus maybe Colin forgot to sign my cars wheel

cheers
Rohan

Many thanks,downloaded...

As we wrote in the article: "As we have often said before, with Lotus in the 60s and 70s nothing can be exactly pinned down and we know there are some exceptions to the rule. "

This is excellent. Many thanks to the writers. Can it be entered into "The Library" for future reference?

Great article, Tim. Thanks!

I wouldn't have known about it had John not asked

Rohan he only signed the English ones LOL . My old 71 +2 had the signed wheel
Ian

a very good article......if you have an Elan.....
bit spartan when you come to the +2.......

Well don't just sit there Spartacus....do something +2

John

Is this a No 3 ?

Spoke spats ? Signature ?

My federal '70 has the signature.

Seems Colin forgot to sign my 72 S130's wheel aswell. I'm fairly sure it was the original to the car, 15 inch, black, leather, 4 holes, no spats & 'ashtray' centre. It lives a life of leisure hanging on my garage wall now though, as I prefer something a little smaller
Thankfully, he did remember to sign the one in my Series 4

Salut

I've never seen a signed black spoked (+2S/130) 'wheel - typo ?
