Nine Elans

Postby MPx » Mon 05.10.2020, 22:56

I heard today of a chap who has 9 Elan's. That seems an awful lot to me. I understand that he is currently building a Lotus 11 - lovely, and also has an original real AC Cobra - fantastic car. With that taste I'm not surprised that he would want to enjoy an M100 or two. But nine, I really don't get that. So if you're on here, I'd be most interested to hear why nine. And which is the favourite?
Mike - MPx
95 M100 Elan S2 (423)
86 Turbo Esprit
but no longer Carlton no 808 nor Sunbeam S1 :(

I think it's probably britishsteel up in Middlesbrough who owns them Mike. Maybe he's collecting the full set of colours :lol:

He was stretching to 7 a few years ago....viewtopic.php?f=49&t=6558&p=339048#p339048

Why 9?

One for every day of the week, one in the shop and a spare, simple really.
