Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

we seem to have lost a 'pics' thread....so thought Id post a couple of mine

Well nice, so I was in a car show in Austin Texas yesterday and got first in my class of Classic Lotus (pre 2004 but still the only one! Evora Exige and Elise tho post 04). The car had been off the road since 1990 and its first outing so tickled to have it done. Thanks for all the help from this site in getting it there. Gordon Sauer

Congrats, the car does look nice!

Congrats, I agree the car is looking good. I missed the show this year (distracted by new arrival in the house hold!), hope one year I might have my car on the road and be able to attend in my +2. With the state of the paint work on my car would be no challenge for your car thou.

theelanman already knows his car looks good.......so I ain't pumping him up any more............

Gordon....yours looks pretty nice, I'm jealous. I wish that trim fellow standing in front would move so I could see the vehicle in its full Monty..........

Wow, those look fantastic, there were only three in Watkins Glen at the Lotus owners gathering and you've got that many in your garage. Maybe you could get one of them to Colorado Springs for next year, they look great Gordon Sauer

the more I look at the +2 the more I love it.....
started this thread as a place for us all to post pics and admire each others cars.......
don't know where the last pics thread went.......so come on guys...pics of your +2.....

At least its only Photoshop,,,

the fuscia pic is not my cup of tea but the others fit right in...back in the day....

On a track!

Well I could not resist such an invitation

haha continued.................Geeez bombed me out after 10 pictures...........the parcel shelf I have just renewed with new speakers. The centre brake light is off a Lotus Esprit and between the rear seats that carbunknle is my sensor alarm.................the car has central locking with the alarm and electric boot opening. The number plate is genuine and not a show plate. The car cover is as it is out the box and fits like it was tailored for the +2 at less than ?40 from Amazon and stays put even in our strong French scirocco storms due to the vents and good elastication

regards

Steve, do you recall the Amazon seller of that car cover? Nice to know ahead of time that the cover will fit decently, etc. Thanks.

Never get tired of seeing that purple roof!

Okay . . . here's a couple:

Pickup day, bringing it across the border at Blaine, Washington, after having it shipped from San Diego (purchased from Cal44


Couple pix during a drive in the southern BC interior . . .



How it looks right now . . .


I love the period colours; makes me think of the "mod" or "swinging" '60s, which is exactly where the Plus 2 fits, in my opinion. BUT . . . my car will not be re-painted Bahama Yellow.

Randy

I miss that Bahama Yellow color.......shuda' never sold it. Still mad at myself.................
