Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2021 5:23 pmYes, this will be a USA effort.
Nothing one my radar yet.
The 2013 Lime Rock Event was my doing because I lived near there and was a regular attendee.
Now living in Nashville I vote for going to Barber Motorsport Park. Lee Clark at the Barber Museum came 1,000 miles for the 50th at Lime Rock so I bet he would welcome the 60th in his hometown.

Re: Elan 60th Anniversary
Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2021 5:26 pmI’d go to another event at Lime Rock…
And while we’re on the subject, anyone going to the Lime Rock Historic Festival this year? I’m planning on attending with my Elan… I’ll probably make a separate thread for it as the event draws nearer.

Posted: Fri Jul 09, 2021 8:11 pmIn 2013 at Lime Rock, milestone anniversaries were also celebrated for Aston Martin, Corvette,
Cunningham, Porsche 911 and TransAm. Could be a huge event for 2023.

Re: Elan 60th Anniversary
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2021 1:52 pm@661 (calling Graeme)...yes, perhaps an event will be organised...
@trw99 (calling Tim)...when ? What is the correct 60th date ?
The PR launch was on Wednesday 10th October 1962 at the Ford showroom in Regent Street...(thanks Tim)
The public launch at the Earls Court Motor Show (17th-27th October 1962) according to Motor Sport.
I might even be able to get my project finished by then!
