CTR: I know where a plus 2 is that can be had for $15 or maybe less. Excellent car that was the prize possession of an auto crosser.

Thank goodness there is still life here, I have not driven the late cars, no interest. I have rebuilt cam position sensors for them but nothing else. I am in love with the fixed head coupe. Mid to high 20s would be a reach for me. Steve (CTR)

I have a 92 Elan, for a FWD sportscar it is a pretty amazing handling car. They can be a pain to work on, the packaging is VERY tight in the engine bay...

I do a little Lotus work from time to time. I have a customer with 5 different Lotus cars. He was just talking the other day and mentioned he may sell three and start a new project. Two are the FWD Isuzu ones and the silver fixed head Elan is a real prize. Twin Cam, Webers and rear suspension converted to CVs out with the rubber donuts. Steve (CTR)
