Potential Elan Owner

Postby Davie W » Sun 20.10.2024, 14:27

Hi, I've currently between classic cars having recently sold a Saab 9-3 convertible and am now looking to replace it.
The Elan seems to tick a lot of boxes for me and hope to get good info and tips here.
Located just outside Perth.

Hello, and welcome.....

.... There are a fair few about at the moment, from both known and unknown sellers - so it is always worth asking if anyone knows anything about any car you may be interested in.

(Oh, and from your email address, I am making the assumption that it is Perth in Scottishland, not Perth in Oztraylia)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Welcome... Care to share what sort of thing you're after? Or anything considered?
NA/SE/S2?
Project/good solid runner/garage queen show car?
Is colour important?
Leather/cloth?
Originality imperative/sympathetic mods welcome/the wilder the better?

Welcome to the forum Davie. As far as I'm aware I think myself and Par are your two nearest active members (Dunfermline area). Not many for sale up this way
these days, although Pars car was / is still available and a well sorted example. viewtopic.php?f=49&t=30002
