1969 LOTUS ELAN +2 Specification: Formula Ford crank Custom made pistons Bore: 3.265”Stroke: 3.070” CC: 1685Balanced & BlueprintedWeber head conversion Head thickness: 4.635” Header exhaust manifold Big bore exhaust Electronic ignition New super starter Alternator conversion Heavy duty clutch New rotors New shocks Rear drive conversion to CV joints ---ooOoo--- This is a very nice +2 and I am very reluctant to sell it but it has to go. The body work is in very good condition with minamal crazing, The paint work is okay but not good this is the only thing I would do next to make this a really good show car. The interior is good with minamal wear on the seats. The headliner was painted black by previous owner but looks okay. It has a Kenwood cd/mp3 player which I installed two years ago. The front windscreen has in the bottom right some damage from the glass de lamintating but other wise is in good condition. The engine has had allot of work done to it and is very strong and goes like a Lotus Twin Cam should red lines very easy and sounds fantastic and is very quick off the mark. Handling is excellent as are the brakes. Tires are Yokohamas at the rear and Bridgstone on thhe front and are in good condition. This little car gets allot of attention where ever it goes. ---ooOoo--- I live just 1/2 hour away from the U.S Montana border for a price I might be able to deliver it. Buyer needs to get all the paper work for border crossing, or you come and get your self. ---ooOoo--- TERMS 50% at auction close none refundable, To be paid within 5 days Balance due when car is delivered or picked up. I reserve the right to end this auction early. ---ooOoo--- I have more pictures if needed and I will post a picture of the engine bay later. Any questions please ask and I will answer them the best I can. GOOD LUCK
