Another tick in the box. My +2 passed it's MOT this morning. Enjoyed the 3 mile run to the MOT and back, certainly gets people's attention. Handbrake has to be 16% efficient, only just made it. The weight is 1090kg on the garage chart, is this correct for an early +2?
Anyway the work goes on, drivers door hinge, respray and interior.

: Back on the road since 1991

Well done Les, nice to see another Elan in use. That is an early car, what is the Unit No?

Definitely not. A quick-n-dirty search turns up numbers in the 840-890 Kg range.

But in any case, glad to see another Plus 2 back on the road!

The chart in the garage was for an ELAN 2, silly me thought is was the +2 but it must be the jellymould Elan. Nothing on the chart for a +2 surprise surprise, my log book does not give the weight either. Basing the handbrake results on 890kg it passed no problem.
Hope it helps, Les
