One of our members is looking for information on his Western Australia-delivered Lotus Elan +2S 130/5. Since you are such a resourceful and well-learned bunch, we thought we’d reach out to you with the story to see if anyone has any information.

Read on for what’s known about the car, thanks to Wayne Clark.

If anyone has any knowledge about the early life of what is now a dark red with black roof and black interior +2S 130/5, particularly the colour in which it was originally painted, it would be greatly appreciated.

The car was supposedly sold new in Western Australia, went to Queensland as a father/ son rolling restoration and then then to Tasmania. Chassis number 730101126L if that means anything to anyone.

Needles have been found in haystacks! Many thanks for your time and assistance.

If you have any information about the car please contact Seth at seth@clublotus.com.au and he’ll put you in touch with Wayne.
