I do have an Elan, it does run and therefore it does leak oil. There are a few other Elans in area, I'm happy to trade technical advice.

Some NoVA Lotus Elans. The Elan is considered to be the finest-handling road car by (among others) McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray. Murray has mentioned that he used the Elan as his target for the handling of the McLaren F1 supercar.

I’m a new owner of a ‘67 S3 DHC SE. I just got it running and on the road after it sat for over 20 yrs in the POs garage. Took it to Katie’s Cars and Coffee yesterday.
I’ll post pictures once I figure out how ...

I’ll post pictures once I figure out how ... Sorry I missed you at Katie's! I left around 8:15AM (I'm one of the early guys...) I always park facing the front door of Katie's. Here are my two cars: (I usually have one or the other there...)
Hope you can make it out to the 'lower lot' of Katie's next Sunday, 11/11/18, at 10:00AM. We are having our twice-a-year 'Get Your Lotus Out' event. -

Here's an Elan, next to a bare Elan frame. Pretty tiny, huh?

I have just signed onto the site. I have a basket case S2 Elan that needs everything. A lesser car would be crushed. It would be too expensive to restore to original, so I am taking suggestions on "resto-modding it". Its missng the twin-cam, so it will need a motor. I want to preserve the spirit of the car (so no LS swap suggestions please), using cost effective modern bits where possible. If anyone has any parts lying around from previously loved cars please let me know. So if you have any ideas, suggestions to put her back on the road, please let me know. Apologies to the purists- but a Lotus Elan is a hell of a thing to waste. Thanks.
