Lotus M100 Elan Servicing

Launched in 1989, Lotus resurrected the Elan name after not using it for 14 years. The car is unique in the fact that it remains the only Lotus to ever be fitted with front wheel drive, and we would argue it is probably one of the best handling front wheel drive cars ever made. 

As a official Lotus service centre, our dedicated Lotus service team have access to genuine parts, full diagnostics and factory support. Our customer care team are on hand to take bookings and offer support, so for more information, please Contact Us.
