Ilkley in Late June - Lotus Rental???
Posted: Fri Jun 12, 2009 7:25 pm
After years of planning, I'm finally taking a trip to the UK. This should be really good fun, as the whole family is going including my mum... who has not been back since she moved to Canada in 1958.
We only have a few weeks and will be staying in Ilkley, as most of my remaining family lives in Leeds. There are a great many things to do, but the one request I've made (of my better half) is that we spend a day just driving around the countryside. Although I'm sure the rental Opel Zafira is charming if you're used to driving a bulldozer all day, I'd really like to rent something a little more satisfying.
I've done some searching on the interweb, and see that I can rent an Elise without too much trouble. But there are also some places that rent classics. In a perfect world I'd find an Elan to rent, but I haven't been able to track one down. If anyone knows if this is possible or has some other rental suggestions (particular company etc.), I'd love to hear back from you. My S1 is sitting ready for the body to come off, and I'm sure that nothing would get the restoration juices flowing like a day of driving a well put together Elan.
Thanks,
Brandon
