Spotted at a garage in Lancashire, England, an example of the extremely rare Lotus Elan+1.
This is a lhd example so presumably reimported from Europe / US.
If I recall correctly road tests at the time noted that they didn?t feel particularly planted or stable, particularly at low speeds.
Merry Christmas!

Yet another 'rare' Elan.. Love the photo. Seem the front wheel has already been sold!

Was this "Air-[plane]-Lotus" before or after the Submarine-Lotus?
Or, now being a "2-seater", is this just an "in-line" Elan?
So like the McLaren F1, this now has "center-of-the-car" driver's position [unless it was a rhd car, in which case, it is now a "driverless" car - clearly way ahead of its time, as is common for Lotus].

Bit like the rare Bedknob Racer or the Federal Snow White Selan.

But Tim, That's just an all white Super Safety. Wonder if the seats were white too?
