1966 Lotus Elan S2 S\/E<\/h1>\n
\n

As the Elan became more of a commercial success, Lotus began to offer a different options including the S\/E package with more features. It was immediately distinguished with knock-off wheels and small S\/E badge on the fender.<\/span><\/p>\n

The S\/E was a heavier car with some interior more appointments such as safety belts and deluxe carpeting and a dual-circuit master cylinder with vacuum assist.<\/p>\n

It also got a \u201cC\u201d camshaft that raised power to 115 hp from the standard 95 hp version.<\/p>\n

The S2 introduced a full-width veneer wood dash with a lockable glove compartment. The car also got clustered rear taillights.<\/p>\n

For the S2, Lotus cast their own block as Ford stopped production of the Ford Cortina 116E. The new 2731E block was virtually identical, but the cylinder-head featured a new stiffening rib between spark plus #2 and #3. Detail upgrades included iron tappet sleeves, stronger 125E connecting rods and a 6-bolt flywheel.<\/p>\n
