Our Elans were built to be driven and not all of us want to to use them on Track Days. If you use, or plan to use, your Elan as a Grand Tourer and have completed or are planning some great trips then inspire the rest of us with the details.

We've just got back from 2 weeks with the Elan around France. I intend on doing a more thorough write-up when I get a moment, but in the meantime, here are some pictures of the car in all sorts of wonderful places:

Looks great - we're off next weekend for a week with a couple of Elises to keep us company too

We did three weeks in July, 2300 miles - East, South and West France. No better way than in an Elan, certainly turns some heads - you can see people trying to find out what it is.

We've literally just got back. ~2100 miles in 8 days
Spent a week in the Dordogne, and managed to fit in trips out to Saint Emilion, Mont-Dore and Millau. Photo album below - I'll do a full write up at some point!

Is that the new French mega bridge? It looks like a wonderful tour.

If you mean
Millau Viaduct, yes, that's where the photo was taken and it's definitely worth a visit (think we did about 300 miles there and back as a day out from the Gite we were staying in). Roads around there are absolutely stunning for a Lotus too. Smooth, freshly tarmaced twisties with little traffic and stunning scenery
