Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

The joys of classic Lotus ownership...

Last Monday, travelling back from watching a great collection of 60's & 70's sports cars racing at Castle Combe, spied a Pistachio Elan (S4?) FHC turn on to the UK's Fosse Way a few cars ahead. A few judicious overtakes later, I was behind and greeted with big waves from both driver & passenger. Enjoyed a wonderful few miles turning heads and making on-lookers smile, before I had to turn for home (and fuel). Great moment as we entered the M40/A429 roundabout in parallel, big smiles all round.

That's all really, don't know if the owner reads this forum, but it made a great end to a great day.

Great imagery! If Noah was a car guy, I'm sure he'd have let you both onto the Ark! ...a couple of rare birds there.

Pistachio +2 was me, yes the Enzo was quite stunning.
