Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

We have just closed the booking on our Club Lotus France event here and we wondered if anyone has any pictures of 10 or more Elan +2s together or are we going to have a record? (!!!)
We have 14 cars coming in total consisting of:-
10No Elan +2
3No Elan
1No Europa Twin Cam

It must be close (discounting the Lotus car park when they were still making them!) although I think there were 12 or more at a Club Lotus meeting at Cadwell Pk a few years ago...

Craig

There was more than a few at the Hethel Lotus 60th.

Thanks for the pictures , we probably need to get a few more owners here to attend next year to break the record!
We may get to 11 if "Tonycharente" brings his +2 rather than his Elan.
And I have quite a few spares..............
Having said that, you say 12 but I can only see 5 plus a few blurs

Thanks again
Terry

But where's the proof????

Here's a picture of a clear 6

All the best
Terry

ah, the unfortunate affect of reducing the resolution. There were 6 +2s in front of mine in photo 5 (7 in total) and I think 5 behind it in photo 3 so that's where I got the 12 from - and that's only the cars that were surrounding mine, there were more there.

Somewhere I'm also sure I've got a photo from a Club Lotus parts fair where they featured the +2 and lined them up outside... will have a look to see if I can find it.

The big difference is
10 Elan +2
but 3 Elan cabrio inside the 10
How many cabrio you have at Cadwell Pk ?

15 or 16 at least at the 60th. Pics here...

Hold on after looking at the pictures, they seem to be all of single cars, no large group pictures
How do we know they were taken at the same event

Terry

Terry,

You'll have to do a repeat of last years petrol station picture, but with plus 2's queueing at the pumps.


Hope it goes well.

i think that it's not a problem to line them all up at the pumps as they are always thirsty

Quick question. Anyone know the colour name & code for the bottom pic in Craig's post above? A friend of mine had a Plus 2 in that colour, but haven't seen one posted before. I don't think it is tawny, rather a metalic bronze colour?

Terry, best of luck with the gathering; it sounds fantastic.

Hello Stu.

It is my car and I believe it is Ford Tawny Brown (metallic) - it looks like it matches a CarPlan aerosol I have, and I once parked next to a Ford Escort at a show which matched exactly.
Not sure if this is the original Lotus colour though? It has been resprayed at some point (over the metalflake roof). I have seen a few other brown ones, but they always look darker or a different shade. PMS had one for sale at the Donnington Lotus Show a few years ago which was more chocolate brown, and I have seen another that was more of a grey-brown.

See Elan+2S130/5 for more photos.

Terry,
I regularly see more than 10 at Spyders workshops near Peterborough, last time I was there they had 7 +2's parked outside with a further 5 inside being worked on and then there are always the basket cases parked around the back (4 cars in varying states).

Common as muck!



Regards

Great picture Alan!
I did have a thought though , if we have about 50 cars in France and we have a fifth of them meeting, how many cars are in the UK and would a fifth be able to meet?
I reckon there must be at least 250 cars in the UK so we are looking for a picture with 50 cars
I'll post some pictures of our event in May
