I`m new here, and this is my first post.
I just inherited the user rights to my fathers `70 Lotus Elan +2 S.
Been spending the last weeks getting it roadworthy and ready to pass the Norwegian MOT?d tests. It`s been sitting all alone for seven years in my dads carport, but I`ll be damned if it didn`t start after a few tries!
So anyway, there`s one more +2 here
It`s, as stated, 1970 Lotus Elan +2S from California.
It has Stromberg carbs, without the crossover (for some reason) and is of course left-hand drive.
I LOVE this car, it`s been in the family since before I was born, and I?ve gotten sleazy hints that I was conceived in that car from my parents! My best memory from this car is on a roadtrip with dad from Norway to the Netherlands, and the feeling of the downshift in the backseat (deafening!).
Anyway - it will be spottable around Stavanger, Norway
