New Members: Please Read This First!

LotusElan.net is about Lotus Elans. If you are into one of the greatest handling and most enjoyable cars to drive ever built, then you have come to the right place.

The Lotus Elan was produced from 1963 until 1974. If you are here to talk about other cars produced by Lotus that carry the name Elan, this is probably not the place for you. If you are here to talk about the copy of the Lotus Elan called the Mazda MX-5/Miata/Eunos, this is probably not the place for you.

If you want to talk Lotus Elans, Twinks, the best 13" tires on the planet, then you have found a family of like-minded individuals.

Our focus is to keep as many Lotus Elans on the road and driving. We do this by helping one another, consoling one another and yes, occasionally laughing at one another.
