That might have something to do with the fact that it's a Lotus Elan. :olo:

Thanks Juggs :D

I went to see that turqoise one and it was in a bit of a mess for more £££. Would have cost me half as much again just to put right the things I spotted in the 20 mins I spent looking at it. I've started nerding out over this model of car now since I think I'll have to maintain it myself for the most part. Only a few specialist garages in my end of the country that are fit to work on these, and even then dealer part prices are a bit hefty so anything I can do in my garage is fair game.

I'm impressed for making the correlation in the first place, my knowledge in cars is a bit rusty

It's all good. I see what you meant, it looks VERY much like a small Esprit Turbo. Well, other than the fact that it's a convertible.

I just got fully comp, 25k mileage, 350 excess for £400 \o/

It's going to go to shit when I move to Leeds in the next few months, though.

I'm eyeballing a closed-loop ECU and wilwood 12.19"s. Hopefully they won't impact the premium since they're safety and efficiency improvements, not performance.

The Ecu is running open-loop stock?

that seems rather off...

previous model owners usually say that.
