Elan Evolution
Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:02 am
The present thread discussing the choice between an S3 or a Sprint has thrown up some interesting stuff about the differences between the two cars.
Heaven forbid, but it made me think!
I know it's been done before in books on the Elan but I don't recall a thread on here that chronologically lists ALL of the changes made with the various Elan model changes & the reasons for those changes.
Here, I think, is the reason why the changes were made would make a LotusElan.net listing
"The Guide" to Lotus Elans.
It's clearly apparent that the membership has that knowledge to develop a new thread dedicated to just that subject.
I think also that references to information sources must be "a must" with each piece of information in order to reduce the possibility of creating a new set of "Folk Lore" on the subject & eliminate "here say"
I don' know if it is possible to start a thread where the information could be added chronologically without jumping from S1 to S4 then back to S3 etc. but maybe that's not so important.
There will without doubt be different views or different sources of information that could provide interesting/controversial discussion.
So why not kick it off with maybe the change from S1 to S2?
