Recommended upgrades when restoring an Elan
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 7:45 pm
So, I've nearly tracked down the handful of missing parts required for the restoration of my 1965 S2 and am now thinking about what upgrades are necessary/sensible/recommended. I'd like to keep the car cosmetically as close to as original as possible and this goes for the engine bay as well as the exterior and interior. However, the car will have to be reliable and able to handle some slow traffic conditions in hot weather and I obviously don't want it overheating if possible. By all accounts, the engine seems to be producing around 125bhp so I don't need much extra poke.
All things considered, what would you more experienced Elan owners consider are the essential and desirable upgrades for all aspects of the car and where can I source them?
The car will be for fast road use and does not need to comply with current racing regulations.
Thanks in advance.
