Lotus Elan - The Complete Story
The Lotus Elan was a defining roadster for the brand, replacing the stylish but costly Lotus Elite. It was the first model to feature Lotus's innovative steel backbone chassis.
Produced between 1962 and 1973, the original Elan was available as a two-seat convertible and a hardtop coupe. In 1967, Lotus expanded the range with the 2+2-seater Plus 2, which remained in production until 1974. In 1989, Lotus introduced the front-wheel-drive M100 Elan, which was manufactured until 1995.
This book explores the history and development of all Elan models, providing technical specifications, details on unique modifications, and insights from owners about the driving experience.
