Black, Vxx in the reg, heading south into Notts on the A60 Sunday afternoon. I use my Elan as a daily driver and did 350 mile around the country on Saturday so why am I always in the Chrysler when I see another?

Medina green SE - J187KYS - parked up all day at Police HQ, Portishead.

Aftermarket wheels (15", but with HR rated tyres :? ) and steering wheel. Some silver detailing on dashboard - quite tastefully done, but not really my sort of thing!

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?

Saw one today.... :-D


Turns out, it's only a few 100 meters away from mine... :shock:

Infact it's in the same car park I changed my rear wish bones in...

And who ever said the Elan never takes a bad photo didn't lie...

Proof of a polished turd.... :(

Yesterday, Saturday, about 2.30pm - Henley's Corner in Finchley saw my first Elan whilst on the road myself. A red one, top up - I was top down in my Silver one..

Glanced in my rear mirror while waiting at the lights and was quite shocked to see another Elan behind me. It's a beautiful sight - I guess you get used to seeing your own car but to see another one in another colour makes you realise just how special these cars are and how utterly amazing they look!

Don't know. Check with Gary, think he'll know.
I'm sure he will give you directions if you ask nicely.
