I’ve just come into ownership of a S1 elan that was partially prepared for historic tarmac rallying some years ago. I’m not looking to compete in the car so am looking for some standard parts. First on the list is a complete early airbox (metal backplate and fibreglass cover) assembly.
Are there any racers out there with one of these old asthmatic assemblies lurking on a shelf?
Since starting the recommissioning of the car my wanted list has started to grow! In addition to the air box and backplate (I might have to go for a Kelvedon one) I’m also after a S1 crashpad, a couple of door mounted ashtrays, a pair of windscreen washer jets and a tonneau. Oh,and a steering wheel
Of course any wisdom as to what cars they originally came from will be much appreciated too.
I believe the door ash trays are the same as were fitted to the Classic Mini Cooper/S cars, they can be found on ebay U.K. both new and second hand.
Just be aware the ash tray is not the same as the standard Classic Mini which does not have the “wings” on the ends. I think the ash tray shown on ebay may have vinyl covering but the normal one is just a chrome lid.
