Elan Buyer's Guide, Classic Car Buyer

[M100_DMM]

:D I really enjoyed the article and thought it was very positive.
The only thing I didn't agree with was it suggested that the standard brakes were adequate (as there should of been an "in" in front of adequate)

There's two schools of thought on Elan brakes.

My original article did state that the brakes should be upgraded before fitting a performance exhaust or Mountain chip. Unfortunately, that particular section was cut by the sub-editor in order to get the article to fit the space available. Typical, as it's the one section I'd have left in.

Only inadequate if improperly maintained

True, but I changed mine because I got fed up maintaining them every month.

Me too John.

Great when fettled, awful when not

I suspect that's why everyone goes down the HiSpec, PNM, AP route ?
