Lotus Elan Central

I have a S2 which i got just under a year ago, Which is I am assuming is Lotus/British Racing green with yellow wheels. I have heard that they made it with the yellow wheels as a Colin Chapman special, is this true? and if it is a special how many did they make BRG with the yellow wheels?
Just wondering if anybody knew as I am still finding things out about my Elan.

Thanks... :lol:

You jammy sod :lol:

It iIS a special model, not sure how many were made, but I think they are quite desirable. Mind you, green is typically the choice of the more mature enthusiast.

Nice car otherwise.

yeah, thanks!--I am mature, but not old!

Ask Sy about that package; you could email the factory and see how many were made.

That metallic BRG is nice!!

Just athought, do these '11' count as part of the 800 S2's or are there 811 S2's ??

Has it got 'Limited Editon ###' on the dash?

The thread doesn't exist anymore but when Grayham (PM's mate) was selling his I'm sure there was a Ltd Edition number plate on the dash.

So is that the way the wheels came out of the factory then :roll:

i think they look superb.

There`s quite a few meets/events up this end, have a look at the Events section NW meets. There`s a show on Sunday at the Wyreside Hall, Northern Festival of motorsport.

i have also seen 2 that are this ltd edition that have had the wheel put back to silver... one willb sold on an N reg and the other was in the carpark at donny. if i am correct it went hand in hand with the metalic racing green...

Is this not the one from Donny?

Where to start, eeerr, well yes I was at Donington this year and what a fab do it was, first time for me there in with all the rest of the M100s. The Ltd No stands at 6XX on an N reg and I am assuming that the Elan came out of the factory with the yellow wheels.

Thanks for the comments so far...

Reminds me a bit of the Jimmy Clark edition Esprit we see here in the states every once in a while.
