The car is looking great. I spent some time many years ago helping a friend rebuild an identical burnt sand Stromberg S4 DHC

It was a great car

Looks great. I'd love to see the interior and engine compartment

Nice Car, but was painting it the same colour as the environmental sand and grass the most sensible thing to do.

The car might be quite hard to see due to its camoflage.

What a great job you've done! And so far away from the Motherland! Are there any other Elans in Uruguay or even "close by" in South America that you know of ? Best of Luck!

I think in Colombia there are 2 elans more but soon I will buy another Elam project so I have another challenge jejeje regards and thanks !!!

Your Elan looks superb in the original Burnt Sand. It was probably the least popular colour here in Australia but like you I love it and would not change it.
