Lotus Elan Central

Lotus Elan Coupé

I now have a car in need of bodywork, respray and the hood is all wrong! What a perfect candidate for a Lotus Elan Coupé!

The previous owner had the good will to rescue this car from the breakers and had the windscreen repared before I got it.

Watch this space!

it suppose it's good to have a convertible as you guys in England always have such narrow garages!! can you even get the door open in there?? at least you can leap out of a convertible . . .

when you say coupe..
do you mean like the one at the singapore motorshow back in 96?
i think we had some photos of it on the mk1 site ..

little bit of minor damage to that ..

looks like " foal" play to me..

good luck with the project.

When I bought my BRG Elan, the guy who sold it had to push the car in and pull it out of the garage as it was so narrow! Perhaps the builder was a bike fanatic?

This photo is courtesy of Paul, the previous owner. His garage looks narrow but it is actually a double with some space inbetween.

It's very hard to find a decent garage in Bristol, most houses were built before cars were invented and most garages built before cars were big enough to be comfortable, probably why there are so many Minis Smarts and Elises

"when you say coupe..

There was something missing from that photo.

I wonder if this is where JohnB got the inspiration for his dashboard from?
