Early Elan Service Manual available for download ?

PostPost by: greg_dest » Wed Jun 07, 2017 2:43 pm

Hello everybody,

I have recently acquired a Lotus Elan S3 rally car which I intend to race.

I am looking for a downloadable PDF version of the Workshop / service manual for the S1, S2 or S3 Elan.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

There is an old post on this topic but it is from 2006 and the download links are obviously dead!
elan-archive-f16/early-elan-service-manual-now-available-for-download-t12575.html

May be Martin (aka M100) or somebody else still has a copy on their hard drive that they are willing to share?

Thanks in advance
Greg

Hi Greg
I have a PDF of the Elan Manual, It is dated 1970 and covers Series 1, 2, 3 and later.
It is separate PDF,s for each section so 19 pages in all.
Can I upload a PDF to the site? I don't think so.
If you email me off site I can send it to you on a few emails , or at least can try.
Hope this helps

I think you can upload PDF files on this forum, but I also think that Lotus Cars are jealous of their copyright on the manual.

Rae very kindly supplied me with a copy of the PDF files back in 2017 so if he doesn't reply just PM me your email address and I will upload the files on a dropbox account or similar.

Hi Rick and Richard - All the files are uploaded in the dropbox folder including section B Body which didn't make it last night for some reason, enjoy.
