More likely to be an Elise S2 if anything.
An Elan could not carry that number if it was registered in the UK when new.

Azure Blue, I think that was the colour, 5:30ish this evening at Golborne roundabout on the A580 East Lancs Road, heading West towards the M6 junction & Liverpool.

No details, I only caught a glimpse as I travelled in the opposite direction.

Specky, Just woke up after a bad dream - dreamt I'd pranged the car, woke in a sweat & found this thread on the site so thought I'd better respond. Well, yes, that was my white M100 you saw at Phillips bodyshop, I'm based in Chippenham & you have already offered sound advice through this site but thanks for the comments about the radiator I'll have a look tomorrow, (they say they can't repair the front bumper! :(.) but I dont seem to be losing any water! Off to Bromsgrove in the morning to sort out the interior so must sleep now! Cheers.

Oh, and black 91 plate at Chippenham Macdonalds Sunday 18th Sept?

Got a wave as I went past towards the A320 on my way to Back-on-Track to have all four corners pointed in the same direction again.

I was in the Yellow S1 111s.

BRG reg Jxxx BRA!

It was me in the Blue Yaris who let you off the end of the slip road onto M25 at J3 or 2 and then passed you so I could toot and wave at you, then followed you all the way to Harlow and spoke to you as we waited for lights to change at the Moat House.

Have a look at that light chap, and hope you had a good day at the Formula Ford event :wink:

And top marks for roof down in the dark too :clap:
