ELAN +2S Seats

Dear all,

Is there is a difference between the +2 and the +2S front seats? I have obtained a pair of leather MGB seats (with headrests) for my 1971 +2S 130/4 as I was assured through several articles and from speaking to Lotus experts that the MGB seats are a straight forward replacement fit. In reality my +2S seats are wider than the MGB seats but have a much narrower set of set of seat runners.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me.

many thanks in advance.

Spyzee,
I don’t know about the runners but the early +2 seat are very different from the +2S onwards. The earlier seats are much more of a bucket whereas the later seats recline and are more padded. You’ll find plenty of photos on this site if your search for seats.

Some people have fitted otehr seats by bolting a board over the existing mountings and fatening the new seat runners to the board.
