Description:
1969 Lotus Elan
This is my '69 Elan +2. It is NOT running now due to the Twin Cam needing a water pump. I had it running two years ago and it has been in my garage since. It was a great car and ran so nicely before the dreaded water pump failure. I tried to fix the water pump two years ago and gave up. It has a clear title in my name. Thanks for looking.
