It would look nasty, far better to leave them blue rinse with highlights

Not pistachio or tawny, for me Lagoon Blue over white is definitely best

"Probably the purest Elan of all is a pre airflow S3 coupe, I certainly wouldn't mess one of those up with two tone."
Amen to that. I'm hoping mine will have a new coat of its original Monaco red in another month.

Monaco Red is a seriously rare colour on an Elan, but there is another chap on here restoring one, PastaPesto (Adam). His is a very early Coupe, with a red interior, which should look absolutely stunning when finished. Hurry up Adam!!

It`s not often that I agree with Pete but Lagoon Blue and monotone if you have good taste. Orange looks nice on Satsumas and 2 tone suits Mini Coopers, but, really the best colour of all is called subjective.
Today there was still salt on the road but the Elan was peeping out, feeling blue.
