Vehicle description

Over 90+ detailed pictures on my "hobby" website: "TaylorMadeClassicCars" 1972 Lotus Elan Plus2 "S", engine runs, but NOT drivable (still needs brake/clutch hydraulic work). Previous owner since early 1990"s, been left indoor storage for 27 years. I hooked up a battery (not included), sprayed Gummout 2+2 carb cleaner in carb, cranked it over and it started right up. Will need old gas drained and light recommissioning before it"s roadworthy again. Has optional Lotus K/O alloy wheels, excellent interior, seats very nice, custom wood Emerson Fittipaldi signature steering wheel, dash veneer cracking, Stromberg fed Lotus twin cam engine, Lucas fog/driving lights with covers intact, good chrome bumpers, older repaint flaking, clear NJ title in my name. No known accident history, structurally sound, no frame rust. Car is unmolested and quite original configuration. Owner"s manual included. With little effort, you could have a rolling restoration, or do the recommissioning work to make it a driver quality car.
Over 90+ detailed pictures on my "hobby" website: "TaylorMadeClassicCars" Please rem ember that this is an "antique" vehicle 47 years old.
