HJ2's Lotus Elan M100 S2 ... SOLD!

Postby HJ2 » Fri 19.05.2023, 14:59

It is time... :wtf:

Lotus Elan M100 Turbo S2
MY 1995. One of the second series with many improvements, limited edition
134.900 KM (but I still drive it when the weather is good!), MOT till 29-09-2023
Currently one of the best examples for sale in Europe

My M100 in short:

Lotus Elan M100 Turbo S2, Limited edition
Calypso Red, black leather interior
OEM 16” BBS wheels (forged) Almost full profile on the sticky tires
The black center is plastidipped and can be pulled off if you fancy the OEM metallic wheels
Most recent service was the extensive A +B + C (incl. distribution + all belts, filters & Liquids) The car is fresh for the next proud owner.
Rare toolkit included
Airconditioning in good condition
Roof & rubbers also in good condition
Retro look radio with Bluetooth, FM, DAB tuner and USB
180 Hp
Showroom condition


My M100, a little longer:
15 years ago I fancied a hand built British roadster with proper cornering capabilities. After looking at the usual suspects the Lotus Elan came in the picture after the Elise was found to small for weekend trips and short holidays together.
After a long search I found this particular example in Brussels and imported it, because there were (and still are) almost no decent examples to be found for sale in NL.

This garage queen Elan is extremely well taken care off and meticulously maintained for the last 15 years (!) of ownership. Usually I change cars every year, but this one still makes me smile every time I take it for a drive.
Beautiful, pretty fast, rare, practical, easy to drive, this car has it all. You could even use it as a daily driver.

In the past 15 years, all off the Elan’s weak points have been addressed and are improved while fixing. Every component that was suspected to be worn has been replaced. All routine service was performed as per lotus manual, but usually more often than that. Lot’s of General Motors parts (Engine) so routine maintenance is rather cheap, even with premium (what else) products

A short selection of the points addressed: (The complete list is over 2 pages, I’m happy to send it)


Big brake kit on the front for safe & pleasant driving
All Stainless Gear shift cables & Short shifter
Refurbished turbo (completely new core)
Water & Vacuum hoses replaced for perfect reliability
2.25”Stainless steel Exhaust with additional silencer (quiet cruise in your hometown, but when on the country roads….)
All wheel bearings
Window / doors rebuilt
Battery / Alternator / steering rack / ball joints / headlights
etc. etc. etc.

All things together makes this a fast, safe and reliable car to drive.
Add up the price of all the components, parts + hours involved and you get a pretty good idea that this car is truly good value for money.
The only reason to sell this classic is that we want…. Another Lotus!
You are welcome to contact me and fire away any question. I am happy to take my time for you and leave no questions unanswered. It would probably be easier to just come over and have a look (and a drive) & a decent coffee.
I can sent the pictures in high resolution

Asking price: EUR. 19.960,-

The price is negotiable, but don’t expect too much here.
I can hardly imagine it, but if you want something changed on the car because you don’t like it: Everything is negotiable, just ask.
