Hello All,
I've recently purchased a 1969 Elan S4 SE -- fairly well sorted and lots of fun so far -- have already replaced the clutch slave (thank you, those who have written about it here -- gave me good info and confidence) and now need to get the low beams working again. I'm new to sporty cars but not old British cars, having had 3 Series 2a Land Rovers over the years.
Cheers, Michael

Where abouts in Cambridge? I work in Cherry Hinton so am quite often in and out in my Elan (yellow S3) - when the weather is good. Maybe see you about sometime.

I've been told it is French Blue -- I tried to find the paint receipt in my stack of docs but I haven't succeeded.

Hi- it looks like Royal Blue to me- quite a bit darker than French Blue which I have on my car-looks fantastic-congrats.
