Lotus Elan Plus 2S 130/5 1600 Big Valve T/C RHD — 1974

• Zustand technisch

  During the test drive, the car performed excellently with a nice and responsive engine, smooth gear shifts, and good brakes. It's equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, with the 5th gear serving as an overdrive. There is a small leak from the valve gasket, but it's an easy fix. Apart from that, it's a good car. In 2016, the cylinder head was renovated, featuring Lorelins valve guides and stainless steel valves, along with a new starter.

• Zustand Interieur

  The interior of the car is complete, featuring a 1970's style mixture of textile and skin, and it is in good condition. There is a small hole in the driver's seat, but the carpets, door cards, and headliner are in good shape, with only a few marks that could be improved with vinyl cleaning. The dashboard and instrumentation are in good condition, and the electric windows and pop-up lights work perfectly.

• Zustand Exterieur

  The body of the car is straight and generally in good condition, but there are a few minor clear coat cracks and paint chips, as shown in the pictures. It has been repainted at some point in the UK, and although there are a few runs on the inner door edges, the overall condition is still good. The underbody is clean and tidy, and the frame appears fine, despite a small damage on the passenger side as depicted in the picture.
  
  The chromework is in good condition overall, but there are some minor areas of oxidation, and some rubber seals show signs of wear. Additionally, there is a slight dent on the chrome frame around the windscreen.

• Zustand gesamt

  The car has a cool and attractive appearance, and it's a fun car to drive. It has been well-kept and maintained, with just a few small fixes that can be done over time if desired.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
