I was considering an S2000, they seem to be rocketing in value now though

Missing my Black Elan M100 a lot since she went to Truro with the new owner, but got me one of these beauties!
Mint condition inside and out [and underneath too].
Bloody quick too and the complete opposite to the M100...gonna have to be careful round corners!
Thoughts?

Ooh, nice. Which engine? I had a Chimaera 4.5, which was a great car, although with a slightly worrying tendency to catch fire for no apparent reason
The Griff always reminded me a bit of the old AM V8 Oscar India - same kind of driving experience and one of those cars that you really need to show who’s boss.

It’s the 500.. v8 5litre monster.
Get it mid April, and can’t wait. Mechanically she is sound, just need to replace the tired carpets and seats need a retrial at some point too.
Summer here I come, though miss my little Elan a lot! Loved it.

I sold mine some time ago and now thinking it was a bad move and I'm on the look out for a nice S2 again.
Odd thing is I sold my Griffith and then bought the same one back again two years later - somethings are just not meant to be sold !
Oh and bought a better camera since the Elan picture was taken

I will replace Smaug with a funeral. I have no intention of parting ways. Other cars will come and go, but Smaug shall be there when I need a good grin!

Maybe a classic Porsche 911. I like the style and power of this car.

Replacing my M100 with another lower mileage M100. For a while an automatic Porsche Boxter, automatic Aston Martin DB9 convertible or a Bentley Continental GT V8 were in the running.
