1972 Lotus Elan Plus 2

VIN# 0079N. The build date is 12/1970. Titled in Virginia at time of sale so it must have been sold in '72. Odometer shows 93,631. Last on the road in 2000 when it died electrically and was taken out of service. Last year, via a jumper cable from the battery to the engine cranked and sputtered. The engine in the car is an earlier version with the rope packing main seal and Weber head. It was completely overhauled less than 20,000 miles ago. The original engine (very low oil pressure) will go with the car. The suspension bushings, shocks and rubber mounts at the top of rear struts all were replaced in 2000. The car was the last Lotus sold by Checkered Flag Motor Sports Center as a Lotus dealer. The company president used it as his demo. The driver's door was replaced by dealer after a salesman hot footing it around the dealership and the building jumped in front of the door as it popped open. The car was sold and later repo-ed. Now being sold by fourth owner as complete car in Norfolk VA area.
