BRM Elan +2?
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 5:21 pm
Hi there!
I'm a member of the Portuguese Lotus Club and I have a fellow member that came out with a doubt that I would like to answer. He has a 1969 +2 Elan and the previous owner made a comment that the engine was BRM. He also found a plate in the dash identical to the one shown here http://www.retro-uk.com/images/Sales/ch ... es/brm.jpg.
The car can be seen at this online album http://picasaweb.google.com/club.lotus. ... 4513338530 it's the dark red +2 in the pictures. The engine cover was replaced by the previous owner and I cannot tell if it had the BRM signature
My question is, an Elan +2 with BRM engine makes any sense? The car was sold in 1969 directly to Zaire with Limited Slip Differential (!) from factory.
Any help is more than welcome
Regards,
