Your piccie has just prompted me to remark that the Plus2 is one of the finest looking cars ever to have graced the tarmac...along with the E-type,Daimler Dart etc.etc.etc.
Thanks

Well
After spending a few weeks fettling, replacing hed gasket, sump gasket, checking valve clearances, having tacho and speedo calibrated and so on, I can report that it goes like a scalded cat!
Just needs a wash and a polish and summer awaits.

Agree with you about the E-Type, but Daimler Dart? Are you taking the p?

My car passed the MOT friday, so I would be up for it, other than it has developed a mystery cut out problem and the engine died running up running up cow pasture road. Consequently I have not trust going for a long run until I have resolved the problem.
It smacks as a vapour lock, as the carb bowls were empty, but it has never had that problem before. Ran it briefly yesterday and it was OK, so I am baffled.
The car needs the carbs tuning anyway. Do you know anyone in the area, who actually has experience of Webers/Deloros?
Cheers,
David

Adi knows of a place in South Yorks that did a really good job on his Elan - I think he posted about it somewhere... Here it is:
