Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post - so please be gentle! I come to you from a number of other car forums, I always use the same name; you can find me on Briskoda, Ford Ka Owners Club and Detailing World. I would introduce myself and the car except right this minute I don't know enough about it!

We own a Lotus Elan 1600 which I believe is an S1 but it could be an S2, I need to check. We have owned it for many years but it has remained stood for the last 15 and untouched. It has not been preserved with anything protective in anyway.

What I would like to know is - where do I start in order to get this thing back on the road?? Right now there are a load of old carpets over it! I imagine all the fluids will be rotten and a number of things will have seized up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Very Happy
