I would appreciate feedback even if it is negative!

I am trying to demonstrate that the Elan is not nearly as fragile as many think.

Sorry, been busy trying to fix the window lift motor.
The second picture (top view of Elan on gravel) is Great !!! Would you send me a high Res file ?

Regarding the toughness, I was doing the Costa Brava Historic in the S3 DHC, and there were a few unpaved stretches, and one with gravel, unknown to the organisation, a freshly tarred street. All done with no problems, the standard soft suspension copes well.
But I did find gravel at many unsuspecting places. And a few chips in the rear lower half. But it was fun.
