Apart from the obvious inconvenience of RHD, are there problems with vehicle registration/insurance etc., in US? I’d assumed it was pretty much ok.

It's a none issue for registration/insurance in experience. I don't think they even ask or care.
It's not much of an issue for driving either.

Will you leave it in Florida? Two of my Elans are with me in Florida, but later this year one will go back to Ohio.

When driving my dad's 71 Lotus yellow FHC back in the day, I always wanted the DHC but the FHCs are nicer to drive and the Strombergs were relatively trouble free, providing lots of low end torque . Good luck with your Strombergs- i have forgotten what little I knew about them while mucking about with my own Weber 45DCOEs!

Question for the OP - I'm in a similar situation trying to bring an Elan over to California from the UK. Can you share the shipping logistics?
