There are a couple, Frank Howard is one which owns and drives and Elan.
You can search as he is a member with this group.
Tim, I'm sorry the last name slips me now but he heads up one of the Lotus clubs and has lots of Lotus knowledge.
I have Frank's email also but would need to see if he wants me to share.

I'm Tim Engel, with Lotus Owners Ofth North (LOON) in the Twin Cities. I'm a long-time Lotus owner and fan, but I've never owned an Elan. I have owned two Europa Twin Cams, so I'm familiar with the Twin Cam engine.
Which car/ who's car are you considering? I may know it.
PM me, and we can talk about some other local Elan owners who 'might' be interested in doing a PPI for you. I hesitate to post their names here without prior permission.
Top Gear Autoworks is a foreign car specialist in Minneapolis. The owner/ lead mechanic (Dave Juntunen) is Lotus trained from the G-body Turbo Esprit through the Evora. He doesn't have factory training on the vintage models, but he has worked on them. He would charge for a PPI, and the car would have to be taken to his shop (it's Winter here, snow, road salt, all that stuff).

There is also a Lotus dealership in Minneapolis. However, they are into the new models, and have no one on staff who is familiar with vintage Lotus models. Personally, I wouldn't go to them for a PPI on a model older than the Turbo Esprit.
Regards,
Tim Engel
