Hi,

Spotted an Elan on this youtube video about 2:50 in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zk0eyKzp1c

Not sure if its around anymore, couldn't find it on the uk.gov sites.

I recall and shopped in many of those retailers in the late 60s/early 70s when I was a dedicated follower of fashion. Jim :D

That was me while dreaming of owning my first Lotus which was a Sprint in 1977. :lol:

It seems that S3 Elans were a familiar sight in Carnaby Street.

I notice that the door fit is pretty good. :-)

I believe the fit only got worse by the time of the S4 as the moulds had deterioated. Chapman eventually agreed a budget to replace them towards the end of Sprint production which is why they fitted flush again. Jim
