History
The Lotus Elan +2 was never officially produced as a convertible by Lotus, which marketed it exclusively as a coupé. Some owners or dealers (such as the renowned Christopher Neil) had these models converted into bespoke convertibles to meet demand from customers who wanted to enjoy the 126 hp ‘Big Valve’ engine in the open air. This version represented the pinnacle of the range at the time, combining the enhanced performance of the upgraded cylinder head with a luxurious interior finish in wood and vinyl. Today, these rare conversions are collector’s items that offer a unique blend of the +2’s spaciousness and the ‘open-top’ driving pleasure typical of the original small Elan. It is a car that embodies Lotus’s transition into the prestige GT market prior to the arrival of the Elite and the Eclat.
This example was delivered new in 1973. It arrived in France in 2009. The current owner purchased it in 2020.

Valentin Perrière
Broker
Passionate about cars from a very young age, Valentin grew up in this world thanks to his father and grandfather. As soon as he got his license, he decided to turn his passion into something concrete by importing a BMW Z3 2.0 Roadster purchased at auction in Japan—an experience that taught him the ropes of importing, registration, and sales. Drawn by the idea of combining automotive pleasure and profit, he continued with iconic models such as the BMW M3 E46 and an Alpina C1 2.3 from 1984. In November 2021, he joined CarJager to structure this activity and support the company's growth, and he is proud of how far the firm has come.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage 4.7 2009
I had a very positive experience with CarJager when selling my Aston Martin. The entire process was handled with great professionalism, starting with showcasing the vehicle through high-quality photos. This is a company that inspires confidence and stands out for its expertise in the classic and luxury car market. I would recommend CarJager without hesitation.
