Not sure if it counts, but I spotted a couple of M100s at Barry Ely Sportscars last Saturday, remember he said at least one of them was in for a cambelt and service.

I'm not sure I believe this unless you were both going really slowly. I can't see how you had time to spot another Elan pull the lever, wait 15 minutes or so for the lights to pop up and flash and wave? Did you both pull over to perform this?

'Back to the future' - Not M100 but it's sort of associated with Lotus... saw a DeLorean on A10 just south of King's Lynn heading north about 15:00hrs. Looked to be RHD which is rare but looked on Wikip' and surprised to see they made 9,000 of them, nearly twice the number of M100's . Made as LHD and converted as required so most went abroad I guess. Good job too - bloody ugly compared to M100.
