I have acquired a 1970 Lotus Elan S4 just a few weeks ago and I have been loving every minute of it. I have had to fix a few things with the car and it still needs a little more TLC but nothing is wrong with the car mechanically at all. I am sure I will be on here asking a few questions to the experts soon.
I own a 1974 Lotus Europa TCS as well. So I am happy to announce I have added to my collection.
Hi Chris, wonderful to learn you bought an Elan. Very special these cars. Great knowledgable group here. They got me through all three of my restorations. For those that don’t know Chris, he (and his Dad) did a fantastic Europa restoration.
Looks like a nice car and certainly a beautiful road the photo was taken on. it will be an interesting change from your Europa. i have an S1 Esprit which drives a lot like the Europas I have driven and its a totally different experience to my Elan or Plus 2 but they are all cars to be driven and enjoyed
Good to hear from you Glen (Certified Lotus) hope all is well with you.
Driving the Elan is very different from the Europa. I enjoy driving both of them but with the summer months coming up, it is nice to have a convertible. I have attached a picture of my Europa.
Nice Elan! Did you get the opportunity to drive east from California or was it delivered to you? Would imagine a great journey through the back roads of the US. Enjoy!
