First time in an Elan

Do you recall how you first got drawn into the lotus elan 'web'? For me it was a fellow students elan in Oxford in 1972. It was a white series 2 DHC registration HYH2C. The cars owner was a bit of a playboy and fast cars and fast women mean't he failed his exams. I drove that car from Oxford to Barcelona and from that moment on I was determined to own one. In 1973 his mother bought him a brand new BMW2002 and he offered me the Elan for ?500. I tried to raise the money but being a poor impoverished student it was just impossible. I eventually got my elan in 1980. I would love to know if HYH2C still exists. Anyone on here own it?
