Red Elan in Daventry last Friday. We flashed lights but I didn't catch the plate.
Men are like a fine wine.
They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh * t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Tooted as I roared past top down in the d/d and got a wave back

Not only that Dico was in the service station blissfully unaware (as always)

Spotted RichardK today. He came for afternoon tea.
He had driven all the way to Aberdeen from darkest Englandshire in his beautiful very red SE. Only done about 28,000 miles and very nice. Hi-Specs, Elise steering wheel, but otherwise very standard and unmolested.
I suggested molesting it with a Mountain chip.
Nice to see you, Richard.

LOTUS ELAN S2
Aqua (rare) with magnolia piped in blue it seemed.
M100 plate.
Seen twice last week in Edgbaston whilst on my way back from Paul Matty, both times funnily enough...
Nice looking, clean car. Driver not so fresh in his years, ha, ha...

What, you mean something like the one in the background in the first post on this page?
I'm sure Martin will be happy to hear that!
It is a lovely car though.

I'd say that was the one.
Stunning looking car and obviously aqua was a rare SE colour, so I'd imagine even rarer as an S2 car?
I guess Gary would be the man to answer that?
A credit to its owner anyway. It's such a shame that these fragile cars get shagged by most of their owners.
Funnily enough, when I saw this S2 I'd been looking at a project at Paul Matty that a women was completing. It was a BRG SE that had already seen 5K's work. Retrim/respray etc. Would be good to see this when it's finished if that lady happens to read this...

Didn't think SEs were available in Aqua at all.

They defo' were! But I think only from 92 + (or J plate at least). Half leather or perforated grey only. They were all post stripey leather if I'm not mistaken (although Lotus did offer stripey leather on some of the last SE's produced).
Actually. There's one for sale now on AUTO TRADER.
Not keen on it on the SE's but with the S2 wheels and Magnolia it looks fresh and modern.
