MCH175D 1966 Elan Series 3 drophead.

[Leonard]

Has anyone come across MCH175D Series 3 Elan drophead? I owned the car in the early 70's having bought it in Sheffield with about 20k on the clock. I sold it 3 years later with about 110k on the clock having had totally trouble free motoring although it was starting to use a bit of oil! Most memorable drive was London to Barcelona with girlfriend and frame tent in 21 hours including the ferry crossing; but you could do that sort of thing then and anyway I was desperate to get her into that tent! A few years ago a chap from Sheffield became a very close friend and it transpires that he was the original owner. Small world. I don't think that it will be still wearing the origilal registration. It was originally red but I think that it was re-sprayed by someone in Chesterfield in red-over-white Gold leaf colours. Both my friend and myself would love to know what has happened to the car since and we would also be interested in owning it again.

Leonard,

Sorry...no I haven't. But good luck with your quest. Have you checked the DVLA for info?
