Jay's Elan

 

Interesting video, I wasn't aware of the Gordon Murray connection.

I had a Europa and always wished I would of gotten an Elan instead. But after replacing the electrical system, new interior, paint, hopped up motor... I just didn't have it in me to go thru another Lotus.... and I married that girl 24 years ago:cool:

Always loved the Elan. But 1500 pounds and only 160 hp, what a porker :rofl: . Tom

I had an Elan +2 back in the 80's.

 

115Hp and bags of fun. Lots of work though...

If this thread has given anyone Elan lust, there is one for sale in Boulder, CO.

 

'69 Elan For Sale

 

I've had some seat time (both as passenger and driver) in this car in the canyons and it is a blast. I know the owner from the local Lotus club.

I love watching Jay Leno's videos.

 

Does Jay own a Megabusa, or did someone post the information below on Jay's website for sake of posting?

Not to my knowledge. I think that part of the site is what people have in their garage and not Jay's.

 

Interesting though as I did not know of any street legal Megabusa 7 in California so if anyone knows who's car that is speak up as I like it.

 

Very Cool and I would bet very fast.....Looks really good also.
