First proper run out in 13 years.

After a long 13 year hiatus the S4 is back on the road and on one of its first long runs what should I park next to! One of Lotus' latest creations - the difference in size is overwhelming

Great to hear another Elan back on the road.
That latest Lotus creation is certainly large and getting away from general Lotus principles and ethos.
Although I never stop being amazed just how small the Elan is.
When ever I am next to a Lorry and I am looking at their hubcaps it gets intimidating.
I reckon without the side intrusion bars on an articulated lorry trailer I could drive underneath it.
Enjoy the Elan

Congratulations! My Elan was in hibernation for about 20 years, until back on the road 15 years ago.
Great photo, I know which Lotus I prefer

The battery pack on that new Eletre probably weighs as much as the Elan.
