Some famous +2 owners and some stars of the silver screen
There must be some, you tell me!
A car owned by Colin Chapman came up for auction last year. Painted Gold with a silver roof, the car was a late five speed late car with all the extra fitted. Chapman had completed under 7000 miles before the car was stored in the factory's Lotus collection.
Elans on film.
The popular TV series
The Avengers featured various Lotuses, especially two seat Elans and
Europas. A red +2, registration NPW 999F features in the episode "Have guns
will haggle", driven by Tara King. For more details see David K Smith's
excellent site The
Avengers Forever. Thanks to David for the still shown here. If you are
wondering why the Avengers featured so many Lotus cars, David tells me that
Lotus did a deal with the production company to ensure that Lotus cars were
used, an early example of product placement.
+2 appeared in the film Doomwatch.
The Beatles video "Free as a Bird" (1996) featured a white +2.
A purple Plus 2 appeared in an English series about a family who are second hand car dealers...does anyone know the name of the series? I'm told it was shown on Swedish television recently.
