Looking for Elan Owners for Interview

Hello, I'm trying to start a blog about classic European cars, and I would love to write up a post about what it's like to own and drive an early Lotus Elan. Since the cars are 50 years old now I realize that there is plenty of information out there about them but I like the personal touch of hearing directly from owners about their own experiences with their car. It would simply involve a few questions about their car and ownership experience over email. If there are any Elan owners willing to send a couple emails back and forth with me in this vein I would be most appreciative!

Thanks so much!

I'd be happy to supply anything I can. I've had my Elan S2 since purchased new in February, 1966. :shock:

I bought my 1st Elan in 1974, 7 years old at the time. I still have that car and have two others as well as a couple of vintage Lotus race cars. Lots of things have changed over the years for an Elan owner who maintains and rebuilds his own Elan. I'd be happy to contribute.

Happy to chat... A "recent" owner if the others are anything to go by, I have only owned my Elan since 1983 :D

Feel free to PM me if you need an extra person...
