Hi All,
After years of wanting a classic Elan, as a family friend had a Sprint, I've just gone and bought a wonderful blue and silver +2s 130/4.
It's a rolling project, that I plan to use at weekends, one or two days a week to do my 8 mile round trip commute and the odd Lotus Club day.
First jobs are to upgrade it to electronic ignition, get it rolling road tuned as the carbs are not set up right so its currently not happy when cold and attempt to get rid of the petrol smell from the interior.
I'm grinning from my purchase, but also slightly scared of what I've let my self in for...
I've already read so many of your very useful posts and I hope to add to them with my Elan ownership.
