Hi All,

I put a post up on the forum around 6 years ago looking for my 1st ever Lotus, an Elan M100 that I ordered in 1989 and took delivery of in 1990, I worked my nuts off to afford her back then, I'll never forget seeing the cover picture on Autocar launching the M100, It is still my favourite Lotus, it really surprises me how it is so unloved by so many, for me it is still a beautiful car.

Anyway a couple of weeks ago I got a random phone call at work by someone telling me that my original M100 was for sale on facebook, needless to say I couldn't resist, I got her delivered to home during the week and I have to say it is probably the best £4000 I have ever spent, I mean in the car world what can you get for £4k that is better than this, she is not perfect but pretty good for a 100,000+ mile car and she runs beautifully.

This will be a keeper now, I'm going to change my red S2 for a mint Norfolk Mustard one if I can find one, but for this one I will restore her over the next couple of years to her former glory, never to be separated again, this really is the car that started my love affair with all things Lotus so great to have her back again.

Cheers,

Paul.
