No she wasn't. I never really saw the a-peel...see what I did there... but seriously, I never really liked that 60s stupid hairstyle look and still preferred Marilyn Monroe or Lesley Ann Down.
Loved the Lotus though but even at the age of 6 or 7 thought it was a girl's car.
thought it was a girl's car .. AGREELoved the Lotus though but even at the age of 6 or 7 thought it was a girl's car.

I prefer the Linda Thorson/Europa combo myself.
As spaximus and GranCab said.. she (La Rigg) was it for most of us spotty yoofs of the time...

"Why the large toilet roll on the roof"
You should know, having had a Sprint and a Europa.......
For the benefit of the passenger.......they normally s*** themselves at the first corner an Élan goes round ! Especially if they've been used to any other 'classic' of the period :-)))

eA great garage but why the large toilet roll on the Elan? ah ha it's to mop up the oil they burn or the broken water pump 
Only kidding looks great and brings back memories, I had a Sprint then a JPS Europa Special, one of the last they ever made, I nearly met Colin Chapman in the Europa when I had it sideways in the wet

I have virtually the same combo, sorry no photo though.
'71 Élan Sprint & '98 C4S.
To reply to some of the other statements re the Élan being somewhat "a girly car"......they obviously have never driven one !
Yes they are very a very pretty car and yes they can run and did run rings around all the other English sports car of the period.
There, that should hot it up a bit .....:-))
Oh yes and let's not forget the Clarkson acronym whilst were at it LOTUS - Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious .
Even got the jibe in first ;-)))
Enjoy

Clarkson can be clever, but I'm afraid he never came up with that acronym..'71 Élan Sprint & '98 C4S.
