Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Anyone know what it is?
The Elan's are close enough to 50/50 depending on fuel and occupants but +2 spec. has been elusive so far.
Tks

The answer is here but it will cost you ?16

I wanted to take umbrage with that remark but sadly you're right. Nationally, of course and not personally. I'm fortunately the elan version of the average US citizen although, even at 151lbs, my F/R ratio has shifted slightly over the years.

Hi There

When I had my Plus 2S130/5 on the scale I got weights of 405Kg front and 410Kg rear so that's a distribution of 49.7/50.3. That's with all fluids plus 1 gallon of petrol but no driver.

Hope that helps

Tks Andy,

Close enough......

....and to all you comedians............

Mike

yes and that is just one of the reasons why the elan is such an awesome car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a lotus owner since 1990 and everytime I have a spirited drive in it confirms why I love this car so much.
no big SUV's for me thanks but no thanks.
cheers robin

owner of a plus two, a very under rated car but I do not care, it is quite nice to fly under the radar of all the classic car hype nowadays
