Britt Ekland Photograph wanted please

[dave_speck]

I'm trying to locate a good quality picture or photograph of the "Britt Ekland Blue S2 Elan" ......and I'm failing badly...

Has anyoneone got one, or any ideas...

I've posted on the LEC... No joy really...

Here's a few pics so you can see which one I'm trying to source...

One cropped up on ebay a few years ago...

and another I found on the net...

24 March 1995:

Lotus celebrates the completion of the 50,000th car since the birth of the marque in 1948. The car, a Lotus Elan S2, is donated to a major national charity with the help of former Lotus driver Britt Ekland. With the help of the "Sun" newspaper, over

I didn't realise she continued to be associated with Lotus after her marriage to Peter Sellars. A good friend of mine, an Aston Martin devotee with an extensive AM collection (he races a DBR09 as well) rang me up a year or two back to say he'd just bought a Lotus, knowing my passion for the brand. It was a white 1966 (I think) Elan previously owned by Sellars and came with a portfolio of him and Britt Eckland swanning about in it. Which was nice.

I've got that picture of her on the Elan M100 and it's good quality, but it's b/w. Is that any good? I'll need to get it scanned.

Here's a picture of her on the Countach Prototype.

Black and white would be good, colour would be brillant

I know I'm trying to find the impossible so black and white is perfect...

I'll PM you this afternoon, you may see the picture again.. Donny 2010.. 21 years of the Elan

Very nice! Any pictures of the matt black prototype, Mark?

[USAndretti42]

More to the point, any more pictures of Britt Ekland?

[Jackonicko]

Just for you....

[red vtec]

What did Sellers see in her?

[molemot]

Jackonicko...so you lurk on here as well as Pprune, then? Nice photo...

[Mark Blanchard]

Very nice! Any pictures of the matt black prototype, Mark?

I'm afraid not. Would be interested to see it. I've got some more pics, including a rare silver FHC M100 rolling chassis concept car and some more of the show car at Earls Court in 1989.

Is it wildly off-topic to include a link to details and photos of the M90 prototype?

oh, OK - thought so

But I do rather like it...

This has reminded me that the Club Lotus France website has some good photos, particularly the prototypes section. Is the the coupe you mean Mark? Taken at the 1998 "Let's bin our heritage" auction by the look of it...

Hmm, not sure about the Calibra headlamps though...

Very nice! Any pictures of the matt black prototype, Mark?

Not one but two...

Club Lotus France M100 page - there's another there of wading tests but not such a good photo.

Yes, that's the one Dan. And there's the black M100 concept:

And the rolling chassis concept car:

Many thanks again Mark

Mark - excellent photos yet again. I'd love to have a couple of spare hours rummaging around on your hard disk to get an idea of the sheer volume of carnography you have lurking there!
