DESCRIPTION:
Karin Mayrhofer said Five Stars. Loved that book!
It had disc brakes all-round and the famous 1558cc twin-cam Lotus engine in various states of tune. The Elan was built on a backbone-type chassis, to which was added a GRP body shell, which was strong enough to pass the tests demanded by the new US regulations in 1968. The S2 had bigger front brakes and centre-lock wheels. The original S1 introduced in 1962 lasted until 1964. Models covered include:- Series 1, 2, 3, 4 & S4 Sprint, Plus2, Plus 2S.. This series also brought the SE model with more power. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, new model introductions, driver' s impressions, racing, history. The S4 came in 1968 with wider wheel arches and the 128bhp Sprint came in 1971. The S3 from 1966 had electric windows and a close-ration gearbox option
