Well the car behaved itself apart from the judder after about an hour which I can cope with (Must change those engine / gearbox mountings)
No water leak!
We had 8 cars visit us in the Charente Maritime with no less than 6 Plus 2's (including mine)
A visit to Ile de Re and Brouage and Port des Barques
Here's some pictures ...........

All French owners and really really nice people. we had a great weekend!
Its funny the Plus 2 people seem to be a lot more active in France on these type of events, so it does seem there are more plus 2's but I believe there are actually more small Elans in Club Lotus France. I think a lot are raced in historic racing here.
Here's a picture taken by someone else........6 now
All the best

Nice pics Terry, the top one could almost be a Lotus ad from the 70's!
I notice some appear to be missing front number plates, or is it the light?

The light! Mine and the silver car has letters on the grill, the Black JPS car has a small motorbike type plate on the grill, the white car has a Belgian plate(!) and the others have normal legal(!!) French plates
I think we may start planning next year!

I love that picture of the cars at the petrol station...not a sight you'd see every day!
I think you need one of these in your car, Terry. And maybe one clinging onto the Seven rollbar as well.....

Hopefully as we really enjoyed ourselves and met some great people
We will keep our fingers crossed for next year. My wife has already been out finding routes and restaurants!

Oh Man!! Just wonderful! What a great looking car the +2 is is it not? I well remember the 1st time I saw one on the street.It was in white, std +2 Cool looking guy driving with a wag in the co pilot seat.
Just magic. Drew my breath away..
Feeling sad..Had my Porsche damaged in a car park bump today. luckily, I was not in the Elan. The ram mobile would have been in beside me and I would have more than a sore head & neck. He was going backwards a bit too quick. Lucky it was not a child
Bugger...
