Hi all
I have been around classics most of my life as my late father loved cars and although he never had any money, always had an interesting car. As a young lad that made a big impression upon me and through the years I have enjoyed owning and restoring a few classic cars.
I would love to know more about the Elan, and may take the plunge at some point ? In particular the Sprint FHC as I love the shape and never had a FHC classic car before. I have read that some cars out there started life as S4 cars and Lotus converted them to Sprints in order to sell them more easily. How can you spot this please? Were all sprints 2 tone as I have seen some advertised as single colour models? Were they all badged as Sprints as I have seen cars with different front wing badges advertised as Sprints?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
