No mate, you did the hard work and worrying. I just helped a mate, in need, out.
The inspiration and drive was all yours and the evidence is here for all to see and admire.

Looking great MR P.P

For me this is the best photo :smt023

I think you have achieved your aim, what a stunning, tasteful, unique Elan :!:

by **Enright** » Mon 20.02.2006, 21:51

It's absolutely bloody gorgeous!

You'd better take an extra large chamois with you to Donington or it'll be covered in drool!!! :lol:

See if you can nick some of those Tensa-barriers from your local Barclays so that you've got a makeshift cordon to put round it.
And if you need a few "keep your grubby fingers OFF" signs laminating, give me a yell.

Man, that car would soooooo never leave my garage in Atlanta! I'd have to get it at least 100-miles out of the city before traffic decreased enough for me to relax.

Paul, this is something that I meant to talk to you about at Dony but never got chance.
I'd quite like to get some aluminium silver "turbo elan" decals with a similar stripe.
Can you post prices/contact details?

by **Paul.P** » Mon 03.04.2006, 22:10

Neil, the company who did them are called Magnum Offset Litho Ltd. Phone number :- 01572 723399, Fax :- 01572 724562, e-mail :- enquiries@magnum-biz.co.uk. Ask for Andy, he's the owner & guy who did them for me. He did give me some prices, but can't remember them now, think it was about £65 for 2 turbo elan decals, but he will tell you !

by **Paul.P** » Mon 10.04.2006, 21:03

Neil, did you get any joy out of Magnum ?

by **Enright** » Mon 10.04.2006, 21:37

Not tried them yet - been busy getting my other car and bike back on the road.
I was going to have a bash at Paintshopping a pic of mine first to get an idea of what it would look like. Once I've done it will post here to gauge opinion - if you don't mind my muscling in on your thread...?

by **Paul.P** » Mon 10.04.2006, 21:53

No mate, you go for it, ive not got anything to post for a while anyway.

by **Enright** » Tue 11.04.2006, 00:20

OK, here is a crude attempt - I had problems with Paintshop but you get the general idea.

Any feedback gratefully received - positive OR negative.

Question is, does it work?

by **Doug** » Tue 11.04.2006, 00:29

sorry, but :smt017

negative here.

I wasn't too keen on Paul's until I saw it, and it think it works with the JPS deal and Lotus history, but otherwise I think it would do the car well to use a lot more modern stylized font !!!

by **nitroman** » Tue 11.04.2006, 06:08

If it makes you happy that's all that matters. I prefer something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-BLACK-TURBO-EMBLEM-BADGE-A4-A6-S4-VW-BETTLE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33643QQitemZ8054764841QQrdZ1

by **Paul.P** » Tue 11.04.2006, 06:53

Not sure Neil, looks a bit bare sat there all on its own, you could try enlarging it, & having the T of the turbo level with the stripe ?

by **Doug** » Tue 11.04.2006, 07:20

I keep thinking to point out that "Turbo Elan" is redundant, but then I remember Clemo and his clan of houdlams. We don't have N/As, so it is redundant here--in fact the Elise is the first N/A Lotus in the USA for a long time!!

by **Enright** » Tue 11.04.2006, 22:05

Hmm, fairy nuff - that's sort of what I suspected. For a commemorative salute to the past then it's fine, but it would be a bit too 70's/80's Esprit for mine.

Thanks for all your input guys, espicially you Doug - itchy trigger finger mate? Ah well, I suppose that demonstrates the priviledges of being an administrator!

Enright,

Heres a little idea I talked to Paul P. about I thought of buying a Midnight blue S2 and getting a set of ESSEX decals made, I supose pacific would work even better. The local decal guy to me can do them.
