I’m working hard to get my red +2 ready for the big day out in the Wiltshire sunshine on Saturday 27th - Anyone else who’s going please post here and we can all meet up.
If it all comes together I’ll be in a red S130/5 with the reg letters AHK (otherwise it’ll be a eurobox!).
Yup - I’ll be there… silvery/blue +2 130s… may not venture onto the track after some fairly costly repairs after some very ‘hot’ laps last year - and as I use the thing every day, it’s prob not wise…! but I’ll prob give in to temptation!
can somebody give me further details on the day at castle combe, such as start times as well as cost to take the elan on the track? It would be much appreciated.
I had a great day but pity about all the rain in the afternoon. It was my first time round castle coombe so my first few laps were a geography lesson. I was very pleased with the performance of my Elan and we could have been a lot quicker if I knew the circuit better, more tuning of the nut behind the wheel needed. It was good to put some more faces to the names. I also picked up my copy of Brian (elanman) book. Very impessive it is too. See you again at Classic Le Mans.
Mine will be ready for Silverstone Classic Race Event Fri/Sun 28/30 July Got me place on the lotus stand book so I guess it better be !
Was really impressed with your car jason it looked cool being nice and low all round.
I want the spyder back end like you have got, will check it out more at Silverstone when I can look at it more without getting soaked !
I meant to hunt you down actually and ask about the height of your +2… I’m trying to sort new suspension for mine (the silver/blue one you took a picture of with the dodgey vacuume tank!) as I think it’s a little too high (and the rear suspension’s knackered anyway…)
What do you have on yours - is it new, or just low because of very tired springs?!
