Newbie considering to become an M100 owner

Postby wayne1 » Sun 14.06.2015, 20:20

Hi All

I currently run a BMW Z3 2.8 as a second car and am considering parting with it and become a Lotus Elan M100 owner. I guess I have plenty of reading to do in the first instance as I know nothing about these models and no doubt I will have many questions to follow.

Hoping I don't drive you mad with too many questions to follow.

Be good idea to add your location to your profile.
Have a look here forum.lotuselancentral.com/viewforum.php?f=75 and come along and meet some owners and ask questions over a beer :cheers:

As you can see I was in like a big dog and didn't give that a thought, I've added my location

Wayne,
Welcome to the forum. I'm based in Chester as well if you want to come and see my car I can talk you through what to look for when buying one. Currently its on axle stands with all the front suspension and front bumper off but that may make it easier to show you where some of the problems can be found. PM me if you want my contact details.

To be fair I panicked and swam straight for the surface.

Hi Wayne and welcome.

Not sure what you are looking for, project, rolling project (most are! :lol: ) or some thing special. Hope you find what you are looking for.
91 Lotus Elan SE Turbo
03 MG TF 135 Sprint (Partner's)
07 Alfa Spider 939

If you can't be a good example, then you might as well be a terrible warning

Andy
Thanks for your kind offer. I have sent you a PM.

Cliff
In answer to your question. I haven’t decided which route to go down so I think it’s fair to say at this stage that I have an open mind.
