Hello evrybody,
Can anyone tell me when the pistachio green colour was used on the Elan?
I am restoring my father’s lotus and I found traces of pistachio green under the current dark green color, the car is from August 1967, can it be possible?
Thanks for your help

I pretty much typed in your statement “when was pistachio green used on the Elan“ and a bunch of things come up, but one of the remarks said that it was only used in 71 and 72, Gordon

According to the Robinshaw & Ross book on the Elan, Pistachio Green was introduced in October 1970.
