Sorry guys, on that basis I'll have to take it down.

Never even occured to me...
Its a fair point though, even if it is 15 yrs old and of little interest to anyone but a small minoroity. :roll:

Might as well as the question though, can only say no!

When I first started looking for an Elan I nearly bought that very car. Obviously the owners were pushing the fact that it was the car reviewed by top gear as a selling point and they had some Lotus paperwork and a video to go along with it. Since it was pretty distant from me I had an AA inspector check it out before I hiked all the way the down to see it myself. The car did ok in the inspection until the test drive where it made around 200 yards before the driveshaft dropped out of the gearbox.... Didn't really have the same appeal after that. I asked around on LEC and the general consensus was that pre-production cars were best avoided in any event.

The link to the torrent file in the original posting is no longer valid.

The link to the 9.3 Mb file provided by LOTOS does not work.

I can view a really naff quality version on YouTube, but I want better than that, where do I go now people?

FYI - I have been using, and highly recommend µTorrent as THE torrent downloading program. It is small, fast, free, and can be found here: http://www.utorrent.com/

That's because it's on Google! I've collected a few links on the Wiki.

Once ive downloaded this via the torrent file I can upload it in a compressed size onto my account of a free file sharing website. Has worked fine for many things.
