Enclosed are some images of my 1972 Elan +2 130, Colour Regency Red/Black trim. Chassis No 0784L, Engine No P27123
The vehicle has only covered 38,000 miles and prior to me purchasing it had only had one owner. I purchased the car in 2006, prior to that it had been off the road for at least 1o years.
The vehicle was purchased new on 25 August 1972 from a lotus dealer in Chester called Mangoletsi, I have the original bill of sale, showing the car cost ?2,765.98
Number plates ?5.50
Delivery Charge ?35.00
Radio ?43.50
H.R.W & tinted front screen ?48.33
Tinted sides ?14.00
Licence ?25.00 [attachment=1]
I am not sure if the images will attach the is the first time i have done this, fingers crossed- David

What a great looking car and a superb colour for the Plus 2 ... very regal! It's very satisfying to find such a low mileage, one owner machine with original documentation.
I have a JPS Plus 2, tucked away for doing one day. It also has 38,000 miles. but it doesn't look as good as yours. The story goes that the owner had a 'cheap' blowover re-spray to smarten the car up, and a few months later, it developed tiny microblisters...all over! He was so upset that the car was put away in the garage, in 1983, and it didn't come out again until I bought it in 2007. So, super-original, lovely interior, but horrible paint....the gold roof is OK though!
How long have you had the car, and how original is it now?

Hi Mark
Sorry for the late reply,
The car is near enough standard, except for the following, I have fitted a pair of Sue Millar drive shafts, i have installed Polly Bushes all round and a set of Goodridge flexible brake hoses.
I am currently contemplating fitting electronic ignition and a wider Aluminium radiator and a modern type electronic fan
It is a dream to drive.

How's your car
