Elan based cars

Article on the Vegantune Evante which was based on Chapman's Elan but never really took off.

Interesting read in Pistonheads.

Cheers for posting John,   Intresting car,   have never seen one before, some of the dimensions are a little off as i think it looks a bit kit carish, but nice none the less     looks like the love child from a mazda Mx5 and a fiat Barchetta

I have seen one at a classic car show, but I forget which.  It does look a bit odd and I don't remember seeing any road tests so I don't know how well it performed and handled compared to its contemporaries.  Vegantune was a well-known tuner of the twin-cam so the engine should have been good.

I saw one in North London close to Vegantune about 15 years ago. Odd looking thing but at least the rear lights didn't look as awful as the ones on this car.
