Running an Elan is cheap !

I intend to export my Elan to France soon and needed some LHD headlamps. Sue Miller was kind enough to bring a pair to Donington the other week for just over 10 pounds each - very reasonable.
Yesterday I phoned Subaru for a set of lamps for my Legacy which is also going to France. I was staggered to be quoted 465 pounds plus VAT each !!
I don't tend to talk to my wife too much about the money I spend on the Lotus, as it can be a sensitive topic and lead to lots of new shoes.......but this time I made full advantage of the relative cost of running an Elan.
I only wish I could spend the money on more Lotus bits instaed. Perhaps I'll just try some 'beam benders' and see if I can get away with it.
