Progress and question

Hi all,
Engine and gearbox have been refurbished. Now waiting for the carbs.
Questions: does a hardtop from an S1/S2 fit on a 1971 S4 and what are your thoughts? Does it help reduce wind noise so it can be driven more in colder times or doesn’t it help much?
Best regards,
Martijn

A hardtop from an S1/S2 will definitely not fit an S4. Door glass shapes are completely different as is rear deck fitment.

Thanks!
Good to know. Any experience of how it drives with it fitted?

A hardtop on any series Elan makes the car the car quieter and warmer as there are less air leaks.
It should make things a bit drier in the rain, but don't expect them to be water tight, especially the S1/S2.
