I, I’ve bought a Elan +2 S…TODAY!!!
I can’t sleep, only read all the post’s and web pages that speak about it…
The car is a restauration project, it work, but is very rusty…
It dont’ have 3 of the 6 counter on the dash, can you please show me what are they? I’ve reade that is outside temp.; oil pressure; Engine Temp.; watch; and what more?? can you please post some fotos of all???
And the gear Knob how can i get one?
Sorry, sorry,
So much work and i’m tinking about the furniture…
Hi, thanks a lot, can i (what a shame…) ask if you photograf the counters individualy? The owner gave me 3 smiths and one vdo, but i think it’s not original…sorry for the trouble!!
I can do the individual photos but it may take a couple of weeks as the car is currently residing at my holiday beach house. Just got back tonight from a couple of days down there ( the kids are on school holidays) and I am not planning to get down again for a couple of weeks. In the meantime someone else may have easier access to individual photos.
I am amazed and pleased that new people are deciding to venture into the world of the +2 elan. I have had mine for 7 years and am only in the last part of this year begining to enjoy it properly. For most of the time I thought that James Dean had more chance of getting back on the road than my car.
After all the work and money it really is worth it.

Hi,
have a look at haverstad.net/lotus/elan/20060810.htm.
There is, among others, a picture from my dash showing the instruments. I’ll try to put up a ‘close up’ photo of the instrumentpanel later on.
