Thank you Tim. But were S2 handbooks and service voucher books green?
Ken.
That's what I believe, hence the "I seem to recall they were green" in my post above.
Tim
Yes. They were green. I still have mine and it's very green.

Can anyone tell me please what the original colour should be on the cover of the following books which i am searching for? and also any other way to tell if something is original or copied?
All for 1965 Elan S2;
Drivers handbook.
Service voucher book.
Workshop manual.
Master parts list.
Many thanks, Ken.
My July '65 S2 had one owner till recently, it came with most/all of the original documentation.
- The Owners Instructions / Handbook is black and white.
- The Service voucher booklet has a black and white cover.
- I also have a sales leaflet which is black and white and the same size as the handbook and service voucher book
- The 'Elan Test Certificate' is the same size as the above three
I guess all four were meant to be put together...or Lotus had bought a job lot of cheap 8 x 5 inch paper. If anybody is interested I'll try and scan and post them.

I have been lucky enough to find and buy 3 out of the 4 books i needed.
I now only need the service voucher book.
While searching for the books I purchased one handbook with a black and white cover ( this looks so perfect and unused that i assume it is a copy ), and another handbook with a green cover ( this looks correct with slight wear ).
Both books have the same photo on the front cover - side view of Elan with man at wheel and girl on bonnet.

Slightly confused by everything since the invention of the wheel.

Ken,
I'd like to see that photo, if possible.

Here are a few I've just dug out of the box!
The S2 one is the black and white booklet, which I'm afraid is the only re-print there. I would assume that the green S2 one mentioned above is the original print.

Hi rd. I am hopeless on these computer things. I dont know how to post a photo even though i have read several explanations of how to do it.
If something doesnt run on or in oil i am lost!!

Thankyou guys,
It's just that I've never seen that cover photo before..."Owners Instructions"? What were Lotus thinking?
I did, however, know a girl who was once on a bonnet...but that was for a TOTALLY different reason!

1965 - people were very 'proper' then.
1965...girl on bonnet...you don't think that's where people got the idea from...no...
