1969 Elan S4 SE
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 11:25 am
Hi all
I bought my S4 a couple of months ago now and am in the process of getting it sorted to how I would like it whilst keeping it as original as I can. The car was 'restored' about 24 years ago with a new Spyder chassis and the engine was rebuilt (rebore - crank reground and balanced etc by Oselli). Iit seems to have only done about 18K since then per all the old MOT's. It has been resprayed / colour changed in the more recent past from what was described on one MOT as Maroon to Lotus Yellow. When I bought it it was still registered as Red so had to get that changed with the new owner change.
Picture is of the car on the banking at Brooklands taken a few weeks ago (I am a retired engineer and work at the Museum as a Guide).
I want to thank everyone on this forum as I have already found it an invaluable source of advice and I have already used some of the advice to assist me in the work that I have done to date.
I am based in Camberley Surrey
