Original stuff

PostPost by: Jens » Fri Jan 20, 2012 10:45 am

I recently looked through all the odd bills and papers that go with my Elan and found a few things worth sharing.

Image
The original service voucher book, owner's handbook and keyfob from the Swedish agent. I guess the keys are the original ones as well, but am not entirely sure.

Image
A closer look at the fob with keys. The back shows a picture of the company.

Image
The service voucher book is still entirely clean. No vouchers have been ripped out, no notes have been made. I wonder if the first free service is still applicable. ;)

Image
The numbers are matching - as they should be. Hopefully the archivist at Lotus may be able to tell me more.

I guess I'll just lock everything in a secure place. The horror of having my three year old drawing cars in the service book or colouring things sends shivers down my spine....

EDIT: Just came to think of it - is this really the right topic?

My one problem is that distance keeps me from my Elan. (36/5395)

Very nice, Jens!

By the way, what is it that these items are sitting on? Love the aged wood.

They look like Jens floorboards to me, no idea what that is in Yankee, but yes, a lovely bit of wood.

Nope, not floorboards. ;)
It's actually an old door that has been given an new life as a table.
French Oak is the wood.
