I need to obtain a replacement VIN plate for my 66 Elan #26/4934 since the original has mysteriously disappeared in my basement. Can anyone with a similar vintage Elan provide a photo of theirs so that I know which one to get from the multitude of different available styles? It's a Cheshunt car, I remember that much.

PM sent. The plate from my S2 looks like that S1 plate, except that most of the paint is worn off.

I love the sound of a torque wrench in the morning. Sounds like... progress.
