Newbie's Elan the 10yr wait is over"

Postby Baz » Thu 30.08.2007, 00:06

Hello to everyone,
I thought I would post some pics of my new purchase.
I have been threating to by one for 10 years and finally done it :-D :-D
Norfork mustard yellow was my first choice but just couldn't get the right one, so calypso red it is :D

A very clean and well looked after example. It certainly got one of my votes at Callander.

West Dunbartonshire is my old neck of the woods too, before I moved through to Edinburgh. I believe there's a Norfolk Mustard one in Balloch as well.

:agree: I've never seen another elan in Dunbartonshire apart from a silk red one in Old Kilpatrick,the only other ones I've seen have been passing through on the A82.

The paintwork is looking okay now, I've just got a list of improvements that I want to do over the next couple of years. :lol:

Don't worry Baz - Dave is from Liverpool :lol:

He loses us all with his "humour" so we humour him :shock:

BTW and back on topic;

Car looks nice for a red one ( not a fan of red myself :roll: )

IMHO could do with some nice Lotus centre caps from the parts sale :wink:
