I agree, great introduction. Welcome Kamil, I'm new here but still in denial that red cars fade...

Look forward to seeing some photos and following your progress.

Witam Kamil,

Dobra decyzja na Elanka! najlepcze!

Hello Guys!

Thanks for the warm welcome on LEC, I did not expect welcome posts in my language, thanks for advices.

I'll write few word about my M100, maybe someone will know this car, Elan world is elite.
1992 Elan Turbo is originally from Switzerland where was sold. Twelve years ago previous owner living in Zurich has light front damage cruising in city,
after accident car where hidden in garage with the intention of repair one day. That day didn't came for this Elan, in 2014 owner decide to sell car.

I found car in advert and first thing which I recognize were driver seat in mint condition (this is for me kind of clear benchmark of car condition).
It has 79.ooo km and under the car frame, suspension, exhaust and all devices looks like brand new.

Basically car is running but I'll have to buy front bumper with indicators and few more parts to be legal, and i think the only one on Poland roads;),
I hope it will be possible to get parts

Best regards,
Kamil

[HJ2]

Haha! I don't think we'll see you in the 'spotted' area on the forum then
Not to worry, a solution for the parts will show up somehow!


Enjoy.

Kamil,

There are people here who are determined to keep all of our cars going! We even have group buys organised from Bahrain! So Post what you need (be very specific) and chances are someone somewhere in our global community can help.

LEC ... Blisko ciebie!

LEC... Closer to you! (or something like that! a very well known Polish advertising slogan!)

Hello Guys,

It's not so bad, I have almost all parts

I still need indicators located in front bumper, and rear registration plate platic frame, do you have any idea where I can find them ?

Best regards!

[maz_r]

Try here and here

Not the cheapest, but......

Car looks good

[yilmazmotorsport]

Thanks Maz!

I bought plate sorround which you have show me, thanks also for indicators unfortunatelly I don't have even back of them so I have to buy complete indicators

However thanks again for links.

B'rgds,
Kamil

Kamil,

The lights are the same as a McLaren F1 ... if you are looking in a scrap yard !

[GeoffSmith]

Found one for you...

[yilmazmotorsport]

I don't think that McLaren allows you to find their crashed cars on scrap yards...

I will also remember about Mclaren when I'll be searching mirrors for VW

[Peter D]

Hi Yilmaz, I mailed you yesterday.
I've got 1 complete indicator assembly, the other one has the mirror of the indicator broken.
Just mail me back if you want pictures.

[yilmazmotorsport]

Hello Guys,

Today I have made some pictures of Elan, what do think about overall condition ?











B'rgds,
Kamil

[steve matthews]

Kamil, hello again.
The undercarriage looks to be in really good shape

DITCH the RED floor carpets and go with black -w- Lotus letters in gray.
