First outings and wash
Posted: Sun Nov 10, 2019 8:51 pm
My Elan finally back from paint. Took 10 months from the beginning of the year.
I madly put the car back together again in order to participate in a car show, "2019 Blackhawk All British Car Show". Held next to the Blackhawk Auto Museum (Danville, California). Just finished the car on the morning of the show and then drove the 50 miles or so.

Judging is done by popular vote of participants and attendees. Even though I arrived after the voting was already 2/3 done, my Elan was awarded a second place in the Lotus Category. First place went to a Lotus 23B (trailered in). I was late because of a fuel line leak - having just put the car back together after paint and not had time to shake it down properly.
