Nige,
incredibly, it wasn't me. However that's my number plate (except I've got figures instead of ***).

Also my car is blue. Also I was in Alford at 1.30 at the Motorvation car show at the Grampian Motor Museum (great weather and a good day out).

But it was close.

John

I knew the plate rang a bell (sort of) and am pretty certain it's a car belonging to someone here, I just can't place it. If it had still been there when I walked back I was planning on ringing the door bell.

There are a few Elans in Series as far as the Reg No's go, A very close relation of my NA was on e bay last week, almost tempted to complete the set (it was an SE) and all in green as well

Nige,

Now that would be a bit flash!!

Spotted a Green SE in a pub car park in Sandhurst - prolly the lady/dog car on Sunday.

Cheers

Jim

Calypso Red SE, Top down (naturally... I'd have rammed him off the road if he hadn't in this weather :wink:

) heading towards lechlade through Highworth on the A361 about 5:20 today (Monday).

A silver-maned gent in a green baseball cap

I was going low profile and undercover in a non-descript burgundy Proton waiting in the queue at the lights in Highworth :roll:

Damn I want my baby back on the road :cry:

White one coming along the Thames, at Datchet, roof up!!!! In this weather!!!! Didn't wave as was in the red thing. Sorry to any white owners but it really doesn't do the car justice :oops:

This morning 7ish A414 Harlow northbound near Moat House - collapso red with roof up (but was misty). G*** *EX

This evening A1 northbound between North Mymms & Hatfield ( I was crossing bridge over A1 into Welham Green) - very nice Norfolk Custard gleaming in the sunshine.

Bet no one owns up though :roll:

Must be coincidence but just seen a white (same?) one on M4 westbound near Heathrow at about 7:15 this morning.

Yesterday - norfolk custard on the M1 south junction 10 @ 8.50am.
I was stuck in the roadworks waving like a madman in me truck. Nice smile (smirk?

) from the roofless lady driver.

Tell me more

I'm sure the one I saw was MEX. Don't know the numbers though.

I've seen GEX & KEX in the early promo stuff but not MEX!

EX is an old Norfolk registration. So I guess almost anything registered out of Hethel at that time would have been G *** *EX

Yesterday afternoon silver-grey going north on the A283 W. Sussex near the old cement works.
I was southbound stuck behind a fat-arsed cayenne so mostly invisible :roll:

I did

though.

So who was the convoy of 3 travelling along the A303 today?
Didn't see them myself, but my lil sis spotted a blue, breen and yellow clutch of Elans.

That was the 'spin' part of the southern scoff and spin heading back to Niges for a slap up grill Nige, Muley and me). Great drive back 'fast and furious' :twisted:

spoilt only by a flat top lorry for about 5 miles hogging the road. Anyway nice to be spotted.

PS Timmo, yes it was me :-D

Blue Elan heading through Todmorden yesterday - blanked me totally. And I was in my newly-acquired shiny red Excel as well

Just want to point out this wasn't me, and I don't stick my finger up my nose, well not in public. :wink:

You sure it was Midnight Blue?
