Re: Off the Road for 25 Years, On the road in 8 weeks

Thanks chaps.

The e-type and I were in West Sussex last week for the Festival of Speed.

1.5 hrs on the M25 crawling in first and no overheating.

Pretty wet when I got there though.

Stayed at New house farm East Dean. Went to the Fox Goes Free and the Star and Garter.

A great time with the lads.

Off the Road for 25 Years, On the road in 8 weeks

It covered 73,000 miles from new with USA history. It had been in storage on ...

S2 Reversing Lights

Yes 9 WYO (above) has Elan rear lights, no filler plate and S1 rear tail pipes. On the subject of the Elan Lights, I acquired a pair at great expense when it probably isn't necessary.

LHS RHD Steering Colum

Probably a bit late in the day, but having done this you have two options without having to buy a new column. 1) Leave it as it is and have the indicator on the left and the key on the right. This works well. My other modern cars have this arrangement, so it makes swapping between them less confusin...
