looking for a S4 Elan FHC

I know it’s not exige related, but if anyone knows of a S4 fhc elan for sale, please let me know. I’ve sold the stratos relica and on the look out for one of these, restoration project also considered
Thanks

In Club Lotus mag there is a 1967 Elan S3 FHC half finished project �8000 tel 07836609474 and a S4 needs finishing �16000 tel 01477533884. Getting expensive now these old Elans if only i had kept mine.

Hey thanks gp_fisher, I’ll follow these up.
yes I had a s4 fhc 25 years ago and it would be great to have kept it, hindsight eh!

Hey Thanks again gp fisher,
just letting you know I bought this one last night, really excited about the prospect of completing the build. Fantastic car, with new spyder chassis and new body too.
thanks again
Dave

Sounds nice Dave, id love one of these, we need some pics!

That’s good news Dave glad to be of help that is what exiges.com is all about. Post up some pics when you have chance :wink:
Cheers
Pete.

will do guys as soon as I get it home, be a few weeks off yet.

Oh dear it must be the weather!! I’m currently looking for either an S1 or S2 Elan, or paperwork for one at the very least. Anyone know of anything?

Best source of Elans is Paul Matty Sportscars

I’ve been looking at Matty’s website and was considering the green fhc ubtil this yellow one came along.

When I get it home (it’s in bits) - I’ll post pics of elan next to exige, just to show how mahoosive exiges are!!

When ever I drive my �lan S2 I’m amazed at the handling , and the performance is not to be sneezed at either, for a 45 year old car & when it’s parked in our High Street, people are amazed , and invariably comment , on how small it is!!! My wife says it’s like a Dinky Toy :wink:

Beautiful little cars , my old mans got a pistachio green sprint in his garage , he has a few exotics but the �lan is the first car people walk over and look at , there shooting up in price like the Europas .

Model of my �lan

My real car is sitting in my real garage !!! And I have 3 of the models for posterity :smiley:

let down on yellow restoration elan, so back to looking around for one again, please let me know if anyone knows of one - prefer S4 FHC.

Paul Matty has one here

Thanks Podger, yes this is top my list at the moment, I like this one, and have talked to Matty’s about it, but they’ve just increased it by a grand, so may wait a while.
any pics of your elan to keep my going!!

Spyder cage/footwell and side protection- tick
Stromberg car with Sprint exhaust- at least it would be quiet, but the twin exhaust SE boxes sound better.
Metallic green… yer pays yer money
Happy to answer questions if I can help as I’ve rebuilt 2 S4SEs
