Wanted! SWM seeks Elan DHC!

PostPost by: carmonkey » Sat Jul 28, 2007 1:25 am

Hi fellow Lotus enthusiasts,

I know I'm a tad off topic here but I'm looking for some help finding an Elan, so if you can help...

I'm looking for a nice Elan DHC, a good #2 or better condition. Will go to happy home with curvy roads!:) (LHD only, please)

Please contact me:

Thanks!

So, where are your curvy roads? LHD sounds like this side of the pond.

To me LHD sounds like anywhere on earth except an island.

Good point, but you've left out a few, while the Empire may not be what it once was; the sun never sets on RHD! Who can name all the islands??

My curvy roads are just outside denver, in the foothills and up into the mountains. Fun fun fun for a Lotus!

And yes, I'm looking for a car in time for LOG 27.

Thanks for any help.

Carmonkey,
Sorry you missed a few on EBay but hope to see you at LOG27 with your new elan. Many west coast owners are going and I am looking forward to the mountain drives.
