I'm mooching around in the market for an Elan (fhc or +2) or Europa. In the olden days Paul Matty would be a go to place. I bought my Elan race car via him. That's obviously not an option now. A lot of the cars on PH are advertised by UK Sports Cars, but I wasn't that impressed with the quality v price of their stock. All the nice quality cars were stonkingly high prices and more sensible ones were very tatty.

Any other recommendations of places to look?

Cheers
Bert

Yes a lot of love for the plus 2.

It's a bit like the 308GT4 versus the 308GTB. Many say it's much more driveable.

Sorry, I wasn't commenting on the looks. I think that the +2 looks great (as does the 308gt4 to my eyes).

Yes it feels like a limited market for the lotuses so maybe private is best.
