Elan photographs

@elansprint71 Hi Pete, hahaha, indeed, the storyboard undoubtly could tell the full story! :wink:

I tried: Google Maps, Streetview, 3D, but didn´t work… (joke)! :laughing:

I’ve seen this car at a number of events, it’s been campaigned by Martyn Jagger to great effect for many years. It’s well developed but as noted it’s using a S3 shell so most likely not a true BRM car. But it’s a great bit of kit very competitive and great to see that the owner has be using/developing it over many years.

I’m referring to that dark blue coupe at the top of the page

That blue coupe was ‘Best of Show’ winner at our National Lotus Owners Gathering in Pittsburgh (US) last year. It’s gorgeous.

I would really like to have my car that color! Alas, my painting days are over… :slight_smile:

Going back to my photograph which started this thread- the Elan with Can-Am Mclaren; there will be a Can-Am demonstration at the Oulton Park Gold Cup in August 2026, now that has to be worth a visit!

Australians might recognise the red car: JWF Milano GT; there were two racing at the 2010 Oulton Gold Cup.

This was for sale at a Lotus event, has it been rebuilt?

One careful owner, plenty who were not

Pete,
What an excellent thread you have started. This would get my vote for “Thread ot the Year”, and it’s only February.

thanks

A different take on sprint colours, novel indicator placement but I think indicator arms would be a better fit​:grinning_face:
Full praise though I took this at Silverstone and as it’s on foreign plates it obviously goes well.

H Matt, nice photos of your own car but, as it says at the top:

“So; as there are already a couple of threads for shots of your own cars, here is the thread for general Elan photos.”
