How comfortable is the Elan +2 ?
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 8:35 pm
Hello,
I have an MG BGT. Don't laugh too loud, I like its rusticity, and I'm not aiming to break any land speed records. It's my only car, and gets used every week (but not every day), and on longish trips from Manchester where I live to Nantes in france where I used to live.
My (French) wife adores the car, but she's getting serious back problems, and that agricultural suspension isn't helping at all.
So I'm looking for another useable classic sports car, and I'm sure that I've read many articles about the comfortable ride of the light Lotuses. Could you let me know what you think, and what else I need to consider if I do start looking for one of your beautiful cars? LHD wouldn't be a problem either.
I'm mechanically quite happy working on anything (I've just ported the head and rebuilt the engine of the B), and I'm also quite at home with composites.
I'm guessing that ?3000 won't be enough to buy a car with an MOT.
Many thanks for any helpful information.
David
