Hi All,

This morning my dreams were realized and I now have a little green beauty in the upper garage! Looking forward to conversing with all the experts out here on the forum! I have already been looking around in the archives for answers to my growing list of questions. I will try to tap out this source of information before asking questions I know you all have seen 1000+ times! Anyway just wanted to say "hello" and show off my newest car baby!

Welcome Pamela!

You have the one of the most desired of the Elan models in absolutely the proper color (in my humble opinion). Congratulations!

Pam, I'm really anxious to see it! Will you and Dan be at C & O next month?

Welcome Pamela to ownership of the most addictive and infuriating car in the world!
As soon as the picture appeared I thought " that garage is in the States or Canada"!
How come all your garages seem to be mega clean and tidy when the majority of us in the UK have piles of stuff everywhere and no place to move......with a few exceptions!
Enjoy
Ross

Hi Pamela and welcome!

Can't wait to see it in person! Once mine is back to road-worthy we should go for a good Fang about the countryside. Greg, would you be up for that too?

Ben, you bet! However, my engine is currently out and at Bob Wagner's in Decatur to fix some issues.
Per Bob, might be another month or so.

No hurry! I've currently got everything but the headliner and heater removed from the interiour, so I'm going nowhere for a few weeks- but a few things are about to start going back in, and with DST just around the corner I expect to be leaning hard into getting it ready to drive.

OK, back to talking about Pamela's awesome car now! :D

Thanks to all who responded to my initiation into the "ole club Elan"! I would like to respond to several inquiries in particular:

Greg Z. Yes we will probably get both Elise and Elan to the April C&O and will park up in the exotics area.

Ben: Yep that would be grand to do some mountain carving with you and Greg Z.

Ross: Thank you for the wonderful compliment about the tidiness of the garage! We have 6 show cars so we have to keep it a little organized and plus I run a home bakery so it is essential to keep things in order.

El Saturn: Following are pictures of the "guts" and interior for your further perusal.
