Can anyone tell me when the baby Elan changed from red dashboard decals to white. As I understand it, red were fitted to the later S3 and continued in the early production S4, but I canniot establish the dates. Geoff

The first time I saw Red lettering was when we got a 1968 S3 SS Coupe, I do not know if other Elans had Red letting, perhaps the Red in the SS was a supposed to be more viable and or safe?
Finding Red letters when re-doing a dash will not ne easy!

My September 1967 S3SE FHC originally had red dashboard lettering. I now have a new Sue Miller dashboard with white lettering. This car has had a red interior (seats, door trim, tunnel cover) since new and I have always assumed that the red lettering was part of that colour scheme.
