Welcome to this new season of Behind the Wheel, the show in which your host Anthony Esteban drives a car for a day and gives you his NOT review.
In this week's episode, Anthony goes to England and drives a 1973 Lotus Elan +2 S130.
Special thanks to Christopher and David for providing the car and hanging around with us during the shoot.
A drone has been harmed during the making of this film.
Just about to pick up my 1969 model that has been completely refurbished. Very excited
Had a 72 Europa twin cam, loved it and miss it to this day. Should never have sold it!😢
Just made a trip from Switzerland through France to the Scotish Highlands and back with my Elan +2 130/5, was driving 4000 km without any issue! Well maintained, these cars are truly reliable - and fast. And they consume not much, on average about 8 Liter on 100 km. Great video!
Wow, that must have been quite the road trip! I'm glad you had a good time 😎.
I'm currently thinking of buying one, and just cannot understand why these cars are not commanding 10k-15k more like some of their counterparts. I was thinking of an S130/4 as I heard the 5 speed gearboxes are hard and exspensive to get fixed. Appreciate the 5 speed is more relaxing on A&M roads, Any advice there, or other advice about buying?
I used to have one and I still miss it.
This channel is absolutely fantastic
I love your editing and music choices, and the history with accompanying images and footage is something often neglected in reviews of classic cars
Hey man, thank you so much for the compliment, it means a lot! I have a lot of cool cars coming to the channel, so spread the word brother!
And of course, keep driving 😎.
Throughly enjoyed that!
I'm glad you did!
My bucket list Lotus is the 23B... I own a '67 Europa S1 and would love an Elan +2!
Awesome video! Only thing that would have improved is that I would have loved a section without the music and commentary and just hearing that sweet twin cam sing!
I will keep that in mind for future films!
I had one brand new in 1973....I liked it but preferred my Lotus Europa John Player Special
