Changing the "Elan of the month" brought me to this thread- rather late...  again...<br><br>I apparently need to quit working to keep up with the threads in this community!<br><br>I know that it is late, and from reading back a little bit it seems that being on the wrong side of the pond may be a disadvantage- but if a shipment is making it to the US at any time, please IM me price and details- I could find myself too tempted by one of these- especially with the CF lining!<br><br>Nice work!<br><br>

Hello, i'm new here.<br>I'm going to buy my Elan in the summer.<br>I really want such a good looking hardtop for the winter.<br>Nice work, Looking verry good !

[grahamec]

As quite a few of you will have seen/read I have my hard top on my Elan at the mo, and I just marvel at the rear vision now.<br>Whilst waiting at traffic lights I copped the rear view mirror and thought someone was peering in the car, and they wer'nt they were sat in their car and I could see them.

[Stef]

The visability from the hard top is amazing!<br><br>Have you had the 'waterfall' effect yet??  ;D

[grahamec]

Stef<br>Enlighten please  ???

[Doug]

I think this would be the water 'cascading' off the back of the top that you can view thru the rear view as you hit the boost after a stop  ;)

'waterfall' effect <br><br>Now that you mention it...I have one of those every morning, normally about 3:30.

[Stef]

Doug, you are spot on!  ;D<br><br>The glass being almost virtical means water from the top of the roof has a lovely straight down run effect when you pull away!<br><br>I thought it had started to pee down outside when I first caught it!

Nice job,! <br>Those wheels are great! Can we have some more details?

[nitroman]

You ain't just whistlin' Dixie.  That silver Elan with top is a looker, a 10.  Makes me lean to acquiring a silver even more, and putting a light-grey top on it, a-la-Porsche.  Would be most best to find an Elan of a difference color (from red), as owning two exactly alike makes it look as though you have no imagination at all; i.e., let's do it again tonight, same position we always do! [smiley=boring.gif]<br><br>Although, I am pragmatic enough that I would probably buy the best car available, regardless of color.  If you have ever bought a car just for the engine, then you know what I mean!  Sometimes it is what you can't see that counts.  If you drive with the radio off just to listen to your car, you also understand.<br><br>BTW, the hardtop above seems to terminate at the base of the "top-cover", a difference from the other design.  Is that correct?

[Stef]

Niiiiiice wheels!  8)

[WillB]

Feck me! Those wheels are HUGE! <br><br>What size are they 19", 20".............<br><br>Bet they make the ride quality 'interesting'  ::)<br><br>Have to say that it does 'look' good  8)<br><br>

[Game-on]

More info on the wheels please as this is what i am after for mine.<br><br>Game-on
