1969 LOTUS ELAN PLUS 2 COUPE THIS CAR SHOWS THAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY UNDERGONE A FAIR AMOUNT OF RESTORATION WORK . BEFORE THE WORK WAS COMPLETED THE CAR WAS PUT INTO STORAGE WHERE IT THEN SAT FOR MANY YEARS . IT IS NOW SEEKING A NEW LOTUS LOVER TO COMPLETE IT AND PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN . WE NEVER MET THE PARTY THAT DID THE WORK AND THEREFORE HAVE NO COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF WHAT WORK WAS PERFORMED , SO OUR DESCRIPTION MAY SEEM A BIT VAGUE , OUR APOLOGY . IT APPEARS THE BODY WAS STRIPPED AND REPAINTED IN ITS ORIGINAL LOTUS YELLOW LIVERY . THE CAR LOOKS GOOD FROM SOME FEET AWAY BUT CLOSE INSPECTION WILL SHOW SOME TINY PINPOINT BLISTERS IN THE PAINT ON THE TOP FACING AREAS OF THE CAR . ALL OF THE CHROME ON THE CAR IS VERY DECENT AND THE BUMPERS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN RE-CHROMED . THE INTERIOR WAS REMOVED ALSO AND PLACED BACK INSIDE THE CAR  , IT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL UPHOLSTERY WHICH IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE HEADLINER IS GOOD ALSO . THE INTERIOR WILL NEED NEW CARPETING . THE GAS TANK WAS CLEANED , PAINTED AND RESEALED . THE ORIGINAL COMPLETE DASH WAS REMOVED AND IS LOOSELY PLACED BACK IN THE CAR AND WILL NEED ALSO TO BE INSTALLED AGAIN AND THE CONDITION OF THE HARNESS WOULD INDICATE IT WILL NEED REPLACEMENT OR REFURBISHING . THERE IS A BRAND NEW CORRECT BURL WALNUT DASH WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW AND INCLUDED FOR THE INSTALLATION . WE BELIEVE THE ENGINE MAY HAVE HAD SOME WORK DONE AS IT HAD THE ANCILLARIES REMOVED AND WAS PAINTED IN LIGHT GRAY . WE HAVE NEVER HEARD IT RUN AND HAVE NO DOCUMENTATION FOR IT . THERE ARE SOME PARTS THAT ARE LOOSELY PLACED ON THE CAR TO PHOTOGRAPH AND SHOW COMPLETENESS , THESE WILL BE WRAPPED AND PACKED INSIDE THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES TO ITS NEW HOME . ALL OTHER LOOSE PARTS WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED AND ARE ALL THE PARTS THAT COME WITH THE CAR . EVERYTHING PICTURED WILL BE CAREFULLY BOXED AND PLACED IN THE CAR TO TRAVEL . PLEASE LOOK AT THE PARTS PICTURED , WE BELIEVE MOST MAJOR ITEMS ARE WITH THE CAR BUT WE ARE NOT LOTUS EXPERTS SO IT WILL BE THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASCERTAIN WHAT , IF ANYTHING , MAY BE MISSING . THIS CAR WOULD BE A GOOD WINTER PROJECT TO WORK ON IF YOU KNOW LOTUSES OR BRITISH CARS IN GENERAL AS MUCH OF THE HARD WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE . THESE CARS HAVE A RACE BRED ENGINEERING AND PEDIGREE UNLIKE ANY OTHER PRODUCTION CARS FROM THE ERA AND ARE QUICKLY BECOMING VERY COLLECTABLE SO THIS COULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ONE AT A REASONABLE PRICE PLEASE LOOK AT ALL OF THE PICTURES AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING .THANKS FOR LOOKING .
