Anyone know of the Yellow Elan owner in Burton Latimer, Kettering?

I've seen it on the road a couple of times and have since seen it parcked outside a house so presume that's where the owner lives.

Sorry, I can't remember the plate.

I've just given Blipi a bit of a clean and polish so she looks less bedraggled in comparison!

Stumbled across an MG owners meet in Hindhead, with one blue S2, 'spoiling' the line up, Reg was C(something) JEF.

Apparantly the owner's MG was off the road with suspension trouble...


... Glad he found something more reliable. :-D

Yes that's the one. It hasn't moved for sometime looking at the corrosion on the brakes!
There was no SE on the boot so I was quite chuffed to have spotted such a rare beast :-)
