Hello,
I am not sure if this is the place to make my introduction. I assume it will be moved as necessary. However, my name is Harry. I bought my first Lotus in 1974. It was a wonderful Lotus 7 S3. I subsequently replaced it in 1976 with an Elan S4SE registration number JEK2H that I still own.
I ran the Elan until 1986 when I undertook a nut and bolt rebuild, around a new galvanised chassis. In 1988 I put the car into storage where it remained until this spring.
Now that my children are off the pay-roll the Elan is undergoing another nut and bolt rebuild, despite only covering 2000 miles since the last rebuild!
To date I have overhauled the running gear, but am awaiting the engine which is away being stripped and put back together. As and when the rolling chassis is complete with the engine , it will be taken to Option 1 who will refit the newly painted body in original Royal Blue, whereupon I will complete the rebuild.
