Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

Hi all

We drove our newly restored 1967 Elan S3 SE Coupe 1100km home from Sydney last week, great fun and runs beautifully, we love it. We were Lucky enough to buy it from a member on here too. We also have a 2003 Elise type 25 which we also love.

welcome to the show with this lovely little tasmanian devil - in switzerland, where i live, the color red (l luv it) is a tiny bit italian - may we suppose that all of the rest is like the body??? cheers sandy 36

Hi all thanks for the kind words, all the mechanicals are like the body, superb.
The interior is original and retains all it's patina and charm which we really like. Can't wait to take her for another spin

Welcome to the forum, JBEE. I'm about to commence restoration of my red pre-airflow FHC. Your car will be an inspiration.
..
I have a good friend in Tasmania that I haven't seen in many years. I wish he could see your car. He'd love it.

Roger

WOW!
How much fun are you going to have on some twisty Tassie roads!

Don't forget to put it in http://www.elanregistry.org - you'll be doubling the Tasmanian Elan population, it seems!

Nick

Nice Car!

you must have put the car on the boat? and did you go on the boat? (thinking of a trip myself for some twisty roads)

cheers,
Jim
