2-ELEVEN.O - MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
A Maintenance Schedule for the 2-Eleven is available under part number LSL519, and a Pre Track Ses-
sion Check List, which should be completed before each and every track driving session, under part number
LSL520.
Recommended lubricants are unchanged apart from the option of Castrol SRF brake fluid. Spark plugs
are part number ALS3E6015F (NGK PFR7G) with 0.8mm (- 0.1, + 0) gap.
Vehicle Recovery
No towing eye is fitted on the 2-Eleven. If the car has to be recovered by towing either forwards or back-
wards, a fabric towing strap should be secured to the passenger side of the roll over bar. In operation, care
should be taken to prevent damage to the aeroscreen or rear aerofoil.
2-ELEVEN.Z - MISCELLANEOUS
Warranty
'Track Use' Cars
The Lotus 2-Eleven is designed and supplied into markets other than the U.K. only as a track use vehicle,
as defined by character 12 of the V.I.N. being 'H' or 'J'. This specification is also available as an option in the
U.K., identified in the same manner. All such cars are not eligible for European type approval, or Australian
Compliance Plate Approval, or equivalent regulations in other countries. The Lotus 2-Eleven is supplied with
no specific type approval paperwork or certification information and Lotus Cars will not provide any assistance
to any person or company seeking to register a 2-Eleven model for road use outside of the U.K.
Lotus offers no warranty other than that required by law, on any 'track use' car in any territory.
U.K. Road Use Cars
The following Warranty applies only to cars built by Lotus for road use in the U.K., as identified by V.I.N.
character 12 being 'F' or 'G', and only whilst being used in the U.K. It is permissible for the car to be driven on
closed circuits or private test tracks, but using the car in a competitive manner, including timed runs or laps,
will invalidate the Lotus Vehicle Warranty.
Warranty Periods
- Warranty period for vehicle; 12 months/12,000 miles.
- Warranty period for replacement parts; 12 months/12,000 miles.
- Corrosion perforation warranty; 2 years unlimited mileage.
Exclusions From Warranty Coverage
- The 2-Eleven features an open cockpit such that all issues relating to water ingress, including damage
to trim and upholstery, staining or discoloration of the chassis, and damage to electrical equipment within
the cabin, are not covered by this warranty; use a suitable outdoor car cover when necessary to protect
against weather damage.
- Adjustments to screw fixed body panels and components, glass and trim should be considered as routine
maintenance and may periodically be required, especially when subjected to high forces by repeated track
use.
- Internal and external mirrors are vulnerable to damage from driver/passenger ingress/egress as well as
from external strikes, and are excluded from warranty coverage.
- All composite panels on the 2-Eleven are designed for light weight consistent with aerodynamic function,
and may be damaged by inappropriate application of bodyweight or other injudicious treatment. The
durability and standard of the paint finish may not match that of more conventionally constructed cars.
There is no body or paint warranty on the Lotus 2-Eleven.
- If the car has ever been used on road or track with 'slick' or equivalent racing tyres, warranty is void.
- Clutch and brake discs are excluded.

Handbook, or 2-Eleven specific Warranty Certificate LSL521
