I bought an Elan kit when I was at University. Went to the Motor Show and in those days if you looked like a real customer they offered you drinks ob the Lotus stand. Got chatting , got pi55ed, and placed an order for a kit Elan. My father explained to me the following morning that he wasnt about to finance that deal. Sad - order cancelled. Where was the fatherly support?
