here are a few more Elan photos of modified type 26 cars includeing a couple of 26R that I have found over the years on the internet.
The medici blue car is a photo I found on the Evergreen Lotus Car Club web page, this picture is at least 10 years old and probably a lot older.
The next two are from race-cars.com (I think), Roy probably knows which car it is.

When looking for other photos I came across the same photos that were named 26R_SII_50, so its a good chance it is 26R S2-50 or maybe a fake, I am not up on these things.
I don't think this Elan needs any intro, its a very tastefully done rebody that is now owned by Paul Matty (again, I think)
The last Elan is the car that Andy Dijac built on 26/4079 and is more than likely the most expensive (in terms of real dollars invested). The numbers that I heard at the time 10 or more years ago were high 70's maybe low 80's in U.S. currency. Where the Elan is today, I don't know but I think it is on the left side of the U.S.
