The Lotus Elan+2 was introduced in 1967 on a longer wheelbase with
occasional rear seats; advertised 'for the discerning motorist who
requires the renowned Lotus road holding and performance coupled to
an attractive two plus two body'. The Elan+2 embodied the Lotus
spirit: it was a fast and agile sports coup�, with very elegant

Elan with passenger comfort.
A Charming Lotus Elan Ready for Immediate Enjoyment!
0037N offered here comes from lifelong California residency, while
most recently in the presence of a notable San Francisco
collection. This particular "Blue Plate" Elan presents well in
fitting British Racing Green over Black livery with great
drivability and overall appearance. Enduring years of ideal climate
and storage have the Elan with a beautifully solid body, while
retaining all original Triplex glass, chrome and much of the lenses
and trim. Glossy older paint compliments the freshened steel wheels
with original knockoffs. The cabin displays correct newer upholster
throughout with its original wooden dashboard and seat belts. The
fitted Abarth steering wheel offers more comfort and driver's entry
access over the factory standard. The often plagued door hinge
bushings were recently replaced.
The car runs and drives beautifully, thanks to a recent inspection
a tune-up. A desirable 831C AX Motorsport Block was installed in
0037N at some point in its life. These thick-walled engines are
highly favored among Lotus vintage racers and are scare to come by.
All gauges, electric windows and headlight mechanisms are in proper
working order, unlike many examples today. Now available for
Worldwide purchase and delivery, we offer this wonderful Elan +2
from our Houston, Texas showroom for immediate driven
enjoyment.
