Below are the standard Elan colours available when new.
|
Buyer Beware: The colours below are the standard Elan colours when the car left the factory. If a car's been resprayed with a different colour, it may have been involved in a crash or had serious damage in its history. Tread carefully when buying any car that has been resprayed. |
Often, the paint colour code for your Elan can be found on the VIN plate located in the engine bay, although it seems that not all cars have the colour code present.
- ‘A’ prefix paint codes are used for cars finished in ICI 2K two pack acrylic polyurethane paint introduced around 1977.
- ‘B’ codes indicate DuPont basecoat/clear acrylic enamel paint introduced during 1991, with water based paints being phased in during 1997.
The paint code number is often stamped in the lower left corner of the vehicle identification plate fixed to the wheelarch in the front engine compartment, if your car does not have this code present, Lotus Customer Service (01953 6080000) will be able to tell you the colour code if you quote your VIN in full.
