Hi guys,
I need to have some informations about my Lotus +2 :
Federal or not ?
What informations do you have with my chassis number and engine number ?
Engine no. G16005B
Chassis no. 50/0665
So, it is stamped on cylinder 16005B
On website : http://elanregistry.org/guide.php
Plus 2 50/0001 on
Type 50 +2
Plus 2 Federal 50/0857 on for US, 50/0929 all markets
Type 50 +2 Federal
On website : http://lotuselan-plus2.be/trevorsparrow ... n_main.htm, we have this board below.
I have Twin Webers and not Twin Strombergs Carburetors on my car, and I have imported my Elan+2 from US.
So, is it an EU model exported to US, and imported after, or US model (Federal) with special equipment ?
If it is 2nd case, there are not technicals differences between EU model and US model with option special equipment ?
