M100 Topic on Pistonheads....

New article on the Elan not long posted. Among many of the comments for your perusal....

"An ‘interesting’ alternative maybe but you’d have to be mad to choose one over those obvious alternatives."

"I had an S2 after owning a string of MX5’s and an S1 Elise circa 1999. I’d always wanted one as I loved the looks. Where the MK1 MX5 always looked surprised with the headlights raised, the Elan looked so much more purposeful. Twin lights in each pop up.

My car was mint with about 6k when I bought it. Came with what I thought was a nice plate at the time as well- M18 LAN."

Sadly, better to look at than to drive. Never felt particularly brisk either. I think the S2 cats took 10bhp. Still think they are pretty though.

"The hoods on these leak. A lot."

Interesting read. Only had my S2 for 3 weeks, a total of 50 miles, my evora feels so much better...
