M100 Elan photos

[Rambo]

I'm kicking this on off as I don't see a specific place for M100 Elan photos. I post regularly on LEC (Lotus Elan Central) but it's an absolut b----r to resize and post photos. So, here goes. I'll post more as and when but please post yours too

[Rambo]

Here are a few more

[Rambo]

And I've taken the liberty of re-posting a fellow LEC members (Lotusman33) lovely collection of M100's he's had over the years

Nice pics Mark.  Some of Eleanor.

On the day of the handover to the Birthday girl

On my favourite day of the driving year

At MBW in 2016 where MJK was telling me how cross he was about the treatment of the (non-FED) rear wing which got changed to what we have while he was away but which he made sure got put back to his preference for the FED cars.

They're great Mike. Won't see you at Castle Combe this year. Will you be in the M00 or Esprit? Or are you going to the Hendy's Thruxton day out?

[MPx]

I'll probably be in the M100 at Combe Mark - will seem odd with all the usual crowd missing.  My mate Gary who sometimes takes the "other" car up for me so that I can enjoy both is likely to be in America in April so I will have to choose and I've not finally decided yet - may be an on the day thing depending on weather.  And yes...I'll be at Thruxton in the M100

Looks as if you can have a second layer in there.

Where's that green with envy emoji? 🤢 I could do with a garage like that for my other toys

The NMY stays outside mainly whilst the black M100 and the Evora are tucked up nice and warm in the double garage

Exactly what I do Keith - albeit inside the barn where they're usually kept...  

 

Whatever the size, there's never enough space for all of the toys Mark...😜

@MPxGood advert for TLF Mike 👍

@exeterjeep Nice photo. I take it Earls Court 1989

Keep the photo's coming everyone. The best handling Lotus FWD ever. And, if you've never driven one, you don't know what you're missing

[exeterjeep]

I have a load of photos I copied from adverts in auto trader etc, found 1 in colour with a cheap Essex Esprit...When a J elan was worth more than the Essex...All in there are some 600 pics of the ads.

[Rambo]

Very cheap Essex Esprit Keith 👍 I have noticed you have lots of old photo's from way back in the day ie launch days, press shoots etc...

Ok a bit of a challenge on this one, I think it is a screen capture taken many years ago..   from a clip on TV - but which program was it????. 

[Rambo]

Kavanagh QC, Rumpole of the Bailey... no idea really. Give us a clue

No, I really can't remember, I was wondering if someone on here recognized the car and could say it was on a program/car review etc...

At a similar time in the past I had also taken a snapshot of an esprit and an Elise. (sky news for the Elise_)  And I think it may have been Mike Brewer in a yellow esprit R477RAH.

Just found this photo and PMSL. 

What an upgrade.  A pop riveted rear screen. Classy or what 🤥

I hasten to add, not on one of mine. Fortunately 😄

I didn't know that. Of course I knew Peter Stevens was not happy about it either.

A lovely day today. Blue skies, warm sun, 11C so topless to Ancrum for a nice Foxy Blonde 🍺
