1964 Elan w/ 4age power; hardtop info wanted

[Mondo]

First post for new member located in California. I have a 1964 Elan S1, a fresh "restoration" with a very sanitary conversion to Toyota 4age power (late model block, early 16-valve head with distributor in front, twin Weber 40s, hot cams, etc). The car was bought from a longtime Lotus West member and came with many old issues of that club's newsletter "Stress Cracks." The car originally was equipped with a weber head, and came with many notebooks that detailed previous work completed and also, interestingly, notations and advise for navigating various racetracks that are/were located on the West Coast during the late 60s. I am sure at least the two previous long-time owners were from Southern California.

Are there any other members here with 4age conversions? I'd like to hear from you; please respond directly.

Can anyone advise if a vendor ever made a removeable hardtop that will fit a 1964 Elan? Anyone have one for sale?

Thanks in advance. I am very familiar with early preWWI racers. My knowledge of Lotus cars is limited.

On the off chance there are folks lurking here that are knowledgeable about 4age conversions into Morris Minors, I would also like to hear from you. Since this is "off topic" for this forum, perhaps you could private message me.

Thanks for your consideration. I'm already learning a lot about my Lotus from reading old forum messages. Regards, Mondo
