- S1 with S2 wheels and loud exhaust!
Hi
I've had a few Lotus cars including a 1970 Europa and a 1989 Excel and currently own two Esprits and and my wife owns a S1 Elise.
The current cars are all in really great shape, so much so that they don't get used that often
So, I heard about an Elan for sale which was mechanically very very good but looked a bit unloved on account of its mileage.
I bought it so that I could use it as a daily driver and not have to worry about leaving it in Tesco's car park.
Picked it up Saturday night - wow what an amazing car. It really pulls until c5k revs and then goes bonkers fast to the red line. What a great car. So underrated. Bought for peanuts so if it goes wrong it really doesn't matter but I already know I'm going to enjoy owning this little thing.

Welcome to LEC. Tidy looking car.
Your interest in rear light covers duly noted.

Steel Blue looks great on the Elan and they are definitely underrated until you get to have a go in one, then they start to grow on you.
