1968 LOTUS ELAN +2 '68 ONE OWNER LOW MILES LONG TERM Storage For Sale

Lotus Elan +2 1968.
One Owner, 33, 000 Miles, Been in long term storage (1982)
Wonderful opportunity to re-commission/ restore a Lotus Elan, matching numbers.
Very original car, superb body shell, interior, dash and components. Excellent/ perfect panel fit. This is a super opportunity to restore an Elan especially as it is an early pure shaped Elan +2 as these early cars don't have the later added embellishments. Rare colour (Burnt Sand). The chassis looks good and should restore but most importantly for the early cars is the condition of the interior which is near impossible to replicate or get parts for. Very worthwhile project and collectible. We would be happy to advise re-commissioning or help as necessary.
Contact: Vincent Haydon the details below/ Paul Macpherson the details below
All Lotus Elise and Lotus required with low mileage and full service history. Also buying classic Lotus, everything from concours to a basket case, unfinished projects or parts.
