New Italian Member and info on 26/3624
Posted: Fri Nov 08, 2019 7:30 pm
I would like to quickly introduce myself and ask some info on my new Elan.
As a longtime enthusiast/collector and racer that is quickly approaching his 60th year on this Planet, just recently I had the opportunity to acquire an early 26 that has been extensively modified and raced here in Italy in 26R (or GTS) form, and that I do intend to race in 2020, therefore I am very pleased to have found this group where it looks there is a lot of knowledge about those cars. The chassis no. is 26/3624. The car arrived in our country in the ?80 from UK, I have a copy of the old registration document that says it was registered with the licence plate FJF 647B and it belonged to Mrs.Amanda Susan Hadfield, Diseworth, Derby, and then to Mr.Barry Heitman, Willington, Derby. Could be that Mrs.Amanda is the wife (or sister) of Simon Hadfield? I?ll be very interested to hear if any of the members has info on this car during its early UK life. I do enclose a picture of the chassis plate (it isn?t missing a lower part where there are written some other info?).
Kind regards,
