I've had her for 5 years, gradually doing bits and pieces on her but I'm now looking at really going to town, bottom front left it has some bodywork damage and the interior is looking a bit tired. The roof also need renewing

A pair of black S2000 seats would suit it nicely, not difficult to fit either

Thanks for the advice, I'm not sure whether to try and get mine re-foamed and covered or as you say use s2000 ones instead. Also someone has made a right mess of removing the drivers side door coverings and glued them back on and got glue everywhere.

Refurbishing the seats is a great idea if you want to keep it Original Adrian, Its not cheap though (unless you have a friendly upholsterer or can do the work yourself), If you are happy to modify things to update old designs then the S2000 seats will possibly cost less than a refurb. I think generally most folks on LEC are quite happy with "updating" to modern stuff. Personally i would recommend the S2K seats, they are far more comfortable for sure. And there is another alternative here...

The perfect colour for an Elan! Good luck and have fun with the work - she'll be going from good to great, I think.

She looks nice - keep us informed.
