Well, if I’m going to be picky . . .
    - missing turbo heat shield
    - missing valve caps
    - balance weights on the outside of the wheels
    - half leather only

But looks good and low mileage. Happy with mine though!

I'm much happier since I've gone back to the half leather, not only warmer but I also don't slide around as much!

this is something i have considered doing in the past. underneath the covers.
still not decided if i want it or not.
i like to have extra gadgets in the elan, im not really conserned about "adding lightness" when im already 20-30 kg over the number id like to see in the scales

Probably a good thing to do once the foam in the seats is compacted and the leather covers and all loose and saggy...slot the heated seat pads inside them and they'll be good as new :-D

Hmm. Palacio - very rare - there were only 3 at Duxford ;)

I've still got the NA itch to scratch, but not at the blunt end of 10K.

I’ve done it, with heated seat pads under the covers and a 5-way switch in one of the spare dash positions. Fredjohn has a similar setup IIRC.

Call me a wuss, but it makes a big difference on these cold mornings.

You do remember correctly and it really does make a difference, especially for the passenger's comfort :D :D

Yep - roof down in the cold, dry weather is the way to go (with heated seats and warm air blowing at your hands). One of the best (read:- useful) modifications I've done.

:agree:
Summer evenings when the temperature has dropped a bit. Cool (not cold) breeze with a nice warmth eminating from the seats. Lovely.

Just ask Kim (aka Mrs Nicowalker)...preferring to travel in my Elan rather than Nick's because she can 'toast her bum' :-D
