1973 Lotus Elan +2 S130
1973 Lotus Elan +2 finished in blue, featuring a rear‑wheel drive layout and powered by a 1.6‑litre inline four‑cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission. Odometer indicating 7,468 miles.
Description / Extras:
The Lotus Elan +2 is a highly regarded evolution of the original Elan, offering the same renowned Lotus handling and lightweight engineering while adding increased practicality with a 2+2 seating configuration. Designed to deliver precision, balance, and driver engagement, the +2 remains one of the most celebrated classic British sports cars of its era.
This 1973 example presents with classic Lotus styling, combining compact proportions with elegant lines and a purposeful stance. The rear‑wheel drive chassis and manual gearbox provide a rewarding analogue driving experience, true to Colin Chapman’s philosophy of “adding lightness.”
With its low indicated mileage and period‑correct specification, this Elan +2 is well suited to a collector seeking a usable classic, weekend tourer, or sympathetic restoration candidate. Values for genuine Lotus Elan +2 models have continued to strengthen as appreciation grows for their motorsport‑influenced engineering and timeless design.
