Nice.

No SE badge, but obviously turbo.
Not S2 vintage (orange turbo gauge sender unit & 1992 in heading) but has the lambda (O2) sensor.
Both RH side blue loom connectors appear to be in use.

Is this the usual Euro set-up?

I love your Yellow Elan! It was always my first choice after BRG. That being said I'm extremely happy with BRG and won't be switching. But some yellow stripes will give me the best of both worlds. Thinking of something on the order of Sy's but with a slight variation.

What plans to do you have? Keeping it stock or do you plan on some modifcations? The logical side of me says leave it stock, but after owning countless so called collector cars I always make it my way. Either way you can't (won't ) lose. Keep us posted!

They did a nice Norfolk Mustard one though.

I figured I better post this for Sy

After those shots, now I am really wishing I would have bought Bob Dz. yellow (Norfolk Mustard) car.

Looking good!

Maybe the brakes and the engine.

I have a -91 model bought in Germany. It looks the same. It is a turbo with no SE badge, orange turbo gauge sender and lambda sensor.

Hey Kevin,

interesting comments on your Elan. I bought some time ago a Belgian norfolk mustard 1992 elan with cat, without se sign. suppose yours got aircon too? Let's check VIN numbers. They must be very close.
