Good day all,
I'm currently restoring a S4 (36-8209) Elan I purchased about 6 years ago. My kids are finally of an age that allows me some time to get back into it.
Cheers,

Welcome, and congratulations on getting to it! This is a great forum to aid getting an Elan back on the road - the amount of knowledge and experience here, and willingness to share both, never cease to amaze me.

Hi and welcome from across the pond.
Let's know the background of the beast and what you intend for it. It's your car and whatever direction you take there are guys (mainly) who have already been there, even converting to electric!

Welcome aboard from Calgary. Should be a fun project. There are several Canadians on the forum that would be happy to help.

Welcome Keith,
One advantage you have over us south of the border is you're closer to McGregor, a great supplier of rubber moldings and interior fittings.
