1967 Elan, Registration UCP 22
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2015 10:43 pm
Here in SF, CA, I own a 1967 Elan S3 that was originally a UK market car (it's RHD, after all).
Having gone through some of the old records, I found the last DVLA document which was from around 1984 before it was sold out of England. It subsequently traveled to the US, then to Japan, and then back to the US where I now own the car.
Tracing the history, it's UK number plate was UCP 22, which marks it as having been purchased in Halifax. The last UK owner was a Christopher J Greasley, who at the time lived in Otley by Leeds.
I'd love to connect with this past owner, as the car has some unique modifications that were done prior to it leaving England (for instance, a very early Spyder chassis with a number of early Spyder suspension bits), as well as a Sprint-style paintjob I'd like to learn more about.
If anyone is aware of the history (or has any pictures) of UCP 22 in the UK, I'd appreciate any knowledge!
