The Elan+2 could so easily have been an automotive compromise and there are numerous examples from rival marques of how adding space so often destroys both pace and grace. But the ever-resourceful Ron Hickman proved more than up to the task of adding two seats to his original masterpiece. No longer did a new father need to forsake his sports car when the kids came along, he just bought an Elan +2 and installed them in the back.
Having recently returned to the UK from New Zealand, where it was sold new, the vendor advises FND 961F is in "excellent" condition in regards to its bodywork, dark yellow paintwork and engine with "very good" black interior trim. With no signs of stress cracking to the bodywork, its condition would certainly concur with it having led a cared for existence. Retaining its original chassis, the car was repainted in the early 1990s at which time a 5-speed gearbox was also fitted. Displaying some 53,088 miles which though unwarranted could well be genuine, this appealing Elan comes with a Swansea V5 document, MoT to November 2017, Lotus Heritage Certificate and a large folder of invoices.
