NMY SE reg K723KWY on the hill away from the A63 Garforth roundabout near Leeds at 07:55 this morning. Saw it out of the corner of my eye as I was on the way to a client meeting. Single male occupant. Looked to be going very slowly, so I hope he was just looking for an address, and not about to experience Lotus trouble :shock:

Red SE parked in driveway heading into Chorley Lancashire yesterday afternoon, sporting some nice Alpine vented rear light clusters. Another one near the Preston Area. Makes me want to resurrect the need for a local get together as there must be four or five of us in the area now :D

Lovely Bluey/Grey Elan on a country lane somewhere in W.Sussex (Sun 03/07/16 about 15:00hrs) whilst I was en route to Steyning for the weekend, many thanks for the wave, I did wave back but was concentrating on the road (and mainly my Sat Nav, being from "Up North" ) :lol: PS Having driven down the M1 with the top down, doesn't it make a noise, but what good fun!

Went to Sherborne Castle Classic Car Show today. Big event with upwards of 1600 classic cars and what seemed to be about 10,000 people. Yet in all those classic cars there was only one other M100. Number plate seems familiar E7LAN. It had the black SE wheels which I didn't think would work but they look good.

Possible sighting.... anyone heading into Weston in an NMY at about 8 o'clock this evening? I only saw it from wing mirrors up above the crash barrier, but I'm convinced it was an Elan!

There was a red one in Rewe in Adenau - waved to the owner - did not have time for a chat - late going to the Oldtimer GP event

Spent Bank Holiday Monday on the south coast of Dorset (guess where). Parked up and when I came back I found another parked next to me. Never saw the owner but the car was in great condition so must be someone on here....?

As you can see my car is a special edition; both redder and larger than the standard car. :D
