New Member - South Bucks

Postby EricD » Sun 06.03.2022, 12:59

Hello all,

I joined LEC a few months ago and after a lengthy search for just the right Elan for me I finally got hold of this beauty last month. A ‘holy grail’ 1-owner from new S2 in NMY, number 646. 73k on the clock.

I’m no mechanic, so I was never going to take on a ‘project’ or extensive work. This needed a new clutch but is otherwise in cracking condition and will be getting all the attention it needs at the nearest Lotus specialists (albeit 30 miles away).

I live in High Wycombe with the Chilterns on my doorstep and the Cotswolds nearby - this will be a regular visitor.

[Let me know what details you need if you want to add this to the S2 database]

Eric

Thanks for the welcome.

A meet sounds like a good plan. I can feel a trip to Henley/Hambleden/Turville on the horizon.

I wonder who has N253?

Presumably either a cherished plate change or an early grave for that one. Hopefully the former.
