history of 50/ 1287

The +2 I’ve been working on, driving and enjoying for 10+ years. Is about to undergo some body off improvements.
Over the years, I’ve toyed with the idea of an elan nose on the +2. Changing tail lights, removing bumpers and smoothing lines etc.

The +2 has really grown on me. So now, no changes planned.

I am hoping for a history lesson on 50/ 1287 please.

I understand the original owner was a pearl importer in BC, Canada.

I can’t help you with the history but you could document what you know about the car in the Elan Registry

elanregistry.org/

very odd
I was sure it was listed

Does Tim (trw99) have +2 records?

Hoping for production date. So if anyone with vins either side of 1287 knows theirs please!

Kind Regards
Jim

As a starter, 50/1287 was invoiced by Lotus on 7/7/69 with engine No. M19550.

That’s all I have, but contact Andy Graham at Lotus to get more information.

Good luck and Cheers…
