Little boring boxes with wheels

So the "Little Boring Boxes With Wheels" thread has moved on to Lotus Elans and D and CX Citroens.

3252746[/URL]]A Lotus Elan. The engine has just been rebuilt. It's rowdy.

One of the best handling cars ever. In my experience only the Alfasud Sprint could equal it. Of course, modern tech has gone past them but there's no fun in that.
Gorgeous car sir.

Sanity? and now comes the pictures of land rover stage 1s and range rover classics towing home Citroen DS's and lotus elans on car trailers ... er ... "to be restored" ... or maybe just stuck out in the paddock with the rest of the treasures so we can dream that "someday" ...... [bigrolf][bigrolf] actually, I kinda have a hankering for a triumph stag for some weird reason (maybe the love of cars and the latest grand tour has affected my brain badly).

There is a Dolomite Sprint for sale locally. Very tempted by it, but probably don't need the extra stress in my life....

The browser on my phone turned these " into these ? I said "sanity". Or what passes for it here. I have a Series 3, gunna. A D1, gunna. A 69 Fiat 124 Sport Coup?, was gunna until a tree fell on it, but it's still here. Oh, and an OKA that I'm still gunna before it gets too much for me. That sort of "sanity".

BL screwed the Stag, as Jeremy said. They had a perfectly good 3.5 V8 to use in it....... I would like an MGB GT V8. But I'm sane.

Cool. Yellow? They were nice little things.

Speaking of sane, I still peruse mp looking at Ovlov, Benz or Jag candidates for a Barra swap. I was even looking at a Chrysler Royal. I'll never do it, but I can imagine the look on the faces of SS owners.

Yep, Yellow. I had a Twin Cam Escort years ago and that was a fun thing, well out of my budget now.
