| Lotus Elan 1973 |
The Lotus Elan was first introduced in 1962 as a roadster and then as a coupé version in 1965. The model was technically advanced with its twin-cam 1558cc engine, 4-wheel disc brakes, and 4-wheel independent suspension. It could reach 60mph in just 7.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 122mph. SE variants featured an increased power output of 118bhp and an upgraded close ratio gearbox. In October 1972 the +2 S 130/5 was launched, and as suggested by the name, this final derivative of the Elan was to have a five-speed gearbox and ‘big valve' engine with higher compression for the UK market.
