Last night about 7.30 Calypso Red in Burpham Guildford turning right onto A3 northbound. Hood down and something very long sticking out of the passenger seat!. I was running so didn't get a closer look.

That was me :D . Just off to SWLC on the last day of a valid MOT for its annual fettle (nightmare....again!). Cost me more than £1/mile in just maintenance last year! Thanks to Phil and crew for sorting - picked it up yesterday on the trailer. Embarassed I had the roof up....but I think it was cold and I was being chased by a mate in his Alfa...we went on to the Devon show and it didn't warm up til much later.

spotted - in a small village, think it's called Roughpark: strathdon Aberdeenshire
A very shiny yellow M100
Now this has to be the same person 8) ; previously in a garage at the village further along the road - sat a very yellow Lotus esprit; I have to make a confession about that one: I very much desired that car - it teased me every time I drove past the garage - eventually I had to go in past, spoke with the Lady at the garage and she let me have a sit inside it :cry: confirming that 6' 2" doesn,t fit an S3 Esprit - - hayho - thats why I have an M100

White H-reg one on M4 eastbound around Cardiff (I think, could have been Newport) driven by a man with colourful hat.

Has anyone on here been to Audley Staffordshire recently in a red Elan
The reason I am asking is one of my friends said they saw me in my red Elan in Audley yesterday but it clearly wasn't me and some one else said they saw the same Elan on the car park in Audley yesterday
If it was anyone on hear please get in touch

Now that is a sweet way to get spotted 8) Nice one! :D

My first spot since becoming an owner, although I was looking out of office window around 3pm in Aylesbury and saw a Burgundy Élan drive by

Sounds like you mean Silk Red. Uncommon but very nice isn't it?
Not mine though.

There's me, not familiar with the actual colour names yet! But it did look nice from my first floor vantage point

2 today!
Red Elan traveling round M25 anticlockwise after lunchtime, then while in the pit area at Brands Hatch, an S2 in Medina Green parked up right in front of me (where I was standing, left my Élan at home today)
