Srange that a "replica" now seems to be more commonly known as an "evocation" ! - looks pretty nice though.

Hi Andy,
Wow, I honestly hadn't noticed that, either in person or in the picture until you mentioned it! So yeah, I'm guessing that that was written at the factory. The only other hidden marking that comes to mind is a four-digit number (not the chassis number) etched into each door with a rotary tool or something. I'm not at home right now so I came recall the exact digits.

I did also find a couple of paper tags from Downham Electronics that fell out of the dashboard when I started trying to loosen it, upon which somebody had written 'federal fascia.'

Haven't been in the headliner yet so no idea if there are any markings there. Will update with anything else I find.

Beautiful last day of summer, and a Sunday sunrise cruise to Palm Beach on Sydney's northern beaches with two old mates!!! Gordon and I brought together the last 2 Elan's I've restored, after repairing and painting both in 2004/5 then they languished in the shed for way too long before their final assembly.

Gordon's S2 26R bodied (stripes) was completed in March 2009 and I think is potentially the most used Elan around having covered over 30000 reliable miles since, the S1 (roundels) completed last week was raced from new and will be returning to both road and track soon as its going to a new home next week. I've really enjoyed driving the car the past two weeks to shake it down, is class legal 1594ccTwin cam all steel bottom end, with forged 11.3:1 pistons, 1.625 inlets and 1.4 exhaust valves in its period modified head. With 45mm Webers, its idles at 800rpm smoothly on pump fuel, and pulls like a train with no pinking! the engine produces 132bhp at rear wheels and 122ft lbs torque, close ratio box and 3.77 with Quaife LSD its a hoot on the road.

Gordon's S2, my S1 and 61 Kombi

Early morning cruise to Palm Beach Sydney (aka Summer Bay)

Next project is to commence the rebuild my 26R (again)

Enjoy
