1972 lotus elan + 2 standard/ zetec project For Sale

due to change in personal circumstances with house moving planned i have reluctantly decided to test the market and sell my plus 2 project. The car is stripped down ready to be put back together. Its missing its twin cam engine but retains all other important items if it was to be restored to original spec. The chassis is a spyder chassis and in excellent cond. and has been rubbed down and given 3 coats of epoxy. The car comes with brand new 2ltr blacktop zetec, head ported and polished and fitted with newman PH3 cams(original cams still available)inlet manifold and brand new webers with the 5 hole progressions. There are also engine mounts, 1. 8 ltr lightened flywheel and new cluch assembly. Also included is a water rail kit and a programmable ECU. Car comes complete with original gearbox and a freshly built close ratio straight cut box. The diff has been rebuilt with new bearings and a LSD and new TTR uprated diff output shafts. There is a brand new set of TTR solid drveshafts. There are also TTR uprated diff mounts and torque rods. The rear uprights have been fitted with TTR adjustable springs and there are brand new koni top of the range shocks. The rear A frames have been made adjustable and there are new polybushes or OE bushes and new bearings. There are also new TTR front shocks and springs, polybushes and bearings, new track rod ends and bearings. There is a choice of spyder tubular front wishbone arms or lotus originals. There are brand new Hi-Spec front alloy 4 pot calipers with vented discs and rear alloy calipers with brackets and handbrake mechanism. The body has had 95% of the paint removed and the body is in very good condition, and was originally fitted with a sun roof and this could be replaced or i have a repair panel that could be fitted, but there is also a mould i made that can be used to bond the opening in. There is also a rear roll cage, alloy fuel tank and a couple of lightweight motordrive seats. There is the original windscreen and also a new heated front screen a set of steel wheels and a set of minilites. Large ammounts of work already done, most suspension parts epoxy painted, chrome work all present, 2 rear bumpers 3 sets of door trims, 2 sets of gutter trims, instruments all present and lights and switches.
Car would make a great road or track car at the moment it could be done in either guise.
This is a great project with great potential and
90% of bits to finish. Please feel free to ring i am happy to discuss any questions, and can send any photos, if you think a plus 2 needing complete restoration would probably set you back about £5 without an engine i hope the price i am asking is realistic when you consider the parts accumulated. Car was originally lagoon blue/ silver and has V5 and Sorn. Please feel free to phone or have a look
regards
