Just picked this little thing up. It doesn’t start. Fuel issue. Can’t wait to get her running and paint the bumper.

Welcome! That looks like a fun project. Hopefully you can get the fueling issue figured out easily. Did you have to trailer it far to get to you? You can put your location on your profile and you might get lucky and find there are some other owners in your area.

Cheers,

I trailered it from South Carolina to Georgia. About 2 hours. Not a bad drive. I’m in Roswell, GA. I updated my profile.

Nice! Close to some great drives over there. Since you are new to the Marque, you might consider also checking out the Lotus Ltd. car club. The annual get together is in Knoxville this year, which you know isn't too far from you. It's still months away so you have time to get comfortable with the car, but it can also be an exciting goal to look forward to. Anyways, you are in the right place to get it all set and ready for whatever you want to do with the car. :D

Welcome - glad someone is saving that car, you got a great deal on it! You and I are part of an exclusive club, less than 15 silver Elans are in the US :D
