Davepeach Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hello. My name is David, from Plymouth. Here due to the likelihood that I will be inheriting a Lotus Elan very soon and would love nothing more than to get it up and running and appreciate the car that has been sat in the garage not driven for the last 40 years. I understand the long road ahead but I'm looking forward to it. Sorry in advance for geeking out and asking the silly questions. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite 4.9 Posted September 28, 2021 Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Welcome David to the Lotus forum. One of my all time favorites is the Elan since it was new. Great choice ! By the way, my grandfather left Devon, England, real close to Plymouth way back in 1902 just after queen Victoria funeral. Maybe that is why I have had so many English sports cars over the years. It's just in my blood. lol atb, Richard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes that is me next to the car. About 1979 I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
