Welcome to Rebuilding-Restoring-Lotus-Elan.
The Lotus Elan is one of the great sports cars built between 1962-1971. Because of their great competition pedigree they are now a very much sought after sports car, by the drivers, ordinary and hardcore enthusiasts alike, as well as collectors looking for that perfect and original specimen in which to invest and enjoy a continued growth in value, as well as to drive on that perfect day, which comes along every now and again.
The lotus elan experience…
The writer has had forty years of truly hard won experience in all facets of the elan, there is not a part of his 1965 S2 DHC elan that he has not dismantled, checked for wear, replaced/refurbished parts, and reassembled to be like new again.
The particular dream elan that you might settle on may be a driver, and in reasonable condition, it may be like new, or it may be in avery dilapidated condition, and believe me, there are plenty around like that, just crying out for restoration.
