Seller's comments about 1972' Lotus Elan

1972 Lotus Elan Plus 2 for restoration, twin cam Lotus engine with big valve head. Engine turns over ok.This car appears complete and ready for restoration, chassis has surface rust as pictures, but looks ok on visual inspection. The engine turns over, but we have not gone further than this as the compressions are low, Cylinder 1+2 are around 75psi and 3+4 are around 45psi, the carbs would also need stripping as they are not moving freely. The rear suspension donuts are broken, RH side driveshaft is in boot, LH rear disc also in boot. Rear bumper is missing. The car shows 4 previous owners on log book which is in our company name. The car has the desirable(so I've been told!) Colin Chapman signature steering wheel fitted. Viewing is always best and strongly recommend this, if you can not view we have 100+ pictures of car we can send to you via one drive link
