Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Here is a shot of my Elan Sprint with a previous owner, the photograph came with the car, along with a few others the date on the back is April 1979. Love the red shirt and especially the moustache.

I don't know who this is but if it's someone on the site please get in touch

Two pics of my '65 S2. The first in 1968 when I had not long had the car and the second in 1972 when I had painted it white with flame orange bumpers! Originally the car was silver with red interior. It doesn't appear to exist now, exported or in Elan heaven? . Reg no DLB696C if anyone knows anything different.

Silver with red trim! Wow! Any colour photos of that colour scheme? Sounds wonderful.

My first S3 was silver with black trim, it was an October '66 car.

I didn't get a Lotus until the early 80's It didn't run well so the hood was off a lot.

My car on a garage forecourt(thanks to Andyelan).
