another winter project - zetec elan

Dave NOOOOOO… don’t do it!!
(anyway you could have sold it to me last year when I was looking for one!!)
you’ll want it back at some point.

Sean can’t buy it, he already has one car in its component form :wink:

Dave, we should chat. Send me a PM with some information etc.

Too many toys and not enough time sadly…
I also have a type 26 to build, GTS car so you have to make choices sometimes!!!

hey is this a private transaction going on in my elan thread!!!

It’ll get worse, they’ll be telling you over and over again to super charge it next :yawn:

Looking good though :sunglasses:

Sean if you’re in Eastbourne she’s yours for a spin.
Personally, if I was spending money on TTR stuff , if would be on a S1 or 2 (except maybe those open spinners, hmmmmm want)
Back on thread, your arse is looking great. I remember painting mine, cellulose mind

Thanks matey!

wish i could have one Jacqui just won’t go in old cars, she says they are coffins on wheels :frowning:
she won’t even go in my new Mini as she says it reminds her of old school death trap minis

Thanks Ade, try to get her out for a run in an elan, you’ll both love it!!

Very nice!!

Pretty vivid yellow. Is that the original Elan shade?

Will it be all yellow, or over white as per the sprint spec?

Thommo…

“Pretty vivid yellow. Is that the original Elan shade?”

I hope so, it does look bright doesn’t it? - I asked for Lotus Yellow and gave the paintman the correct codes, we’ll see in daylight next week (hopefully)


Tim…

“Will it be all yellow, or over white as per the sprint spec?”

It will be yellow and white sprint spec.

more pics next week
