Hello all, new member here and looking for advice!
I currently own a 2001 Lotus Elise, however I'm considering swapping it for a Lotus Elan +2. The Elise is a thrilling and very capable car, but I've always loved classics and want to have another. I've been looking at the usual suspects such as MGBs and Triumph GT6s but to me it seems the Elan +2 is the logical choice for my budget of ?15,000. Not only because I love Lotus' but I can't find any other model from the 60s or 70s which would provide the performance, styling or fun of an Elan +2 for that price!
Now, I know that ?15,000 won't buy that much Elan +2 with the way prices are going, however there do seem to be a few examples for sale and wondered what your collective opinion is on purchasing one at this price bracket and what specific Elan +2 things to look out for (over and above the usual classic car things..!).
An example of one in this price bracket:

Also, if anyone is looking to sell theirs or would be interested in an Elise let me know
Thanks for your help,
Guy
