The Lotus Elan was Colin Chapman and Lotus' first affordable road
car, produced from 1962 and, along with its larger Plus 2 (+2)
variant, until 1974. As a replacement for the expensive Lotus
Elite, the Elan and Plus 2 were both successful sports cars, which
carried Lotus through the 1960s and into the 1970s. Starting with a
brief history of Lotus and the Elan, this book provides a detailed
originality guide to the Elan and Plus 2, identifying the design
changes Lotus made to the models through their lifetimes. An
'owner's guide' provides detailed information on owning and
maintaining the cars in tip-top condition, and gives details of
common faults and upgrades. The restoration guide gives any
potential restorer the information to carry out the tasks needed to
bring one of the these cars back from the dead. With anecdotes and
experiences from current and previous owners of Elans and Plus 2s,
along with many colour photographs, the book provides a valuable
insight into owning, running and racing these iconic cars.
