No, broke it a while back. Not sure if there is a good option for mirrors on an elan. Hate the idea of drilling doors of wings. Thought the type that attaches to window frame was a good option.... until it's not!

I recently sold my S3 pre airflow Coupe that I resurrected from the dead and picked up the S3
that rcombs on this forum restored. A very nice job indeed and we're still in the 'sorting out'
phase. It's a pretty late car, having left the factory in July of '67. I know the first owner who
bought it from a dealer in Canada. He laid up the car in '86 due to, I think, a foot injury and
Rick Combs bought it in 2013 (or '14, not sure). He fully restored the car to a very nice high
standard and 'ran out of steam'.
The car was originally yellow and pictured is the first owner in a slalom event in 1973.
I have the original tool kit, jack, jack handle, owner's manual, service manual and
key ring from the selling dealer with the VIN stamped in the back. It's the black
leather piece with the 4 digit phone number.

Last weekend was the Atlanta British Car (and Motorcycle) Fayre. Sixteen Lotuses showed up, a rather good turnout and we out-numbered the Sunbeams and Morgans and even the Minis!
Yelotus made friends with this rather excellent Eleven-replica.
About a dozen of the sixteen are in this picture:
I rather like this picture. That's Greg Z's Elan on the other side of the Esprit.
My friend Jayne and her husband (that's him behind the car) arrived late with this absolutely smashing Sprint. Jayne recently inherited it and it's been in the USA for less than a month, and was in fact only registered to be legally driven the day before the show.

Been doing a loft clear out and found the attached among loads of photos. I thought they may interest Lotus fans on this site. I believe it was a concept car called a Lotus Etna. I cant remember the venue or taking the photos but on the same roll ( remember rolls ? ) was Ayrton Senna in his Lotus at the '86 British Grand Prix.
