Drew Pritchard Restores A 1970 Lotus Elan | Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars

[@philelliott5327]

Title should really be "Drew Pritchard pays other people to restore a car"

[@johnmcdonnell81]

Yeah, I've become tired of the show and tired of him. Still, it's somewhat interesting but he now grates on me.

[@lookagain3305]

No point having a dog and barking yourself.

[@adeh503]

He was bang on with that colour 👌

[@davidmorris56]

This car was designed & engineered ..to a large extent by my Uncle..Brian cunnington..pic on my page of a drawing of the elan...remember going out out with him in pre production prototypes

At 2:10, you can see the windscreen surround is the later type, correct for the +2S but at the end it has lost it, for the 1968 era plastic chrome-strip in rubber (which my car has), so either they lost it or it's a different car. My +2 is a very similar colour (think Austin Metro metallic blue) but I'm thinking of restoring the Carnival Red or maybe a blue with a bit more blue, like the Lotus Lagoon Blue. The worse colour combination in my opinion was pistachio with the silver roof, I looked at one before buying mine 30+ years ago.

Lovely to see. That was the first car I tried to buy from a fellow. Racing green with a yellow stripe. In the end I went for the BRG 74 TR6. Still miss that car. Good times.

You gentlemen have saved me a great deal of money. I had no idea the amount of maintenance on a fiberglass .sports car. While i love the lines on an old Elon Lotus, the maintenance is just to crazy. Again thank you gentlemen.

Ein wunderschönes Auto!

[@OldLien1]

amazing colour!

[@MarkHilton-k2h]

Steve Porritt is correct ,windscreen surround problem huge job to change late model style to earlier style , probably a different car

[@martinvanderwiele5464]

What a relief compared to all these shouting and screaming, tasteless american "car shows" keep up the good work gentlemen, greetings from the netherlands😊

[@A.R.C.77]

I like the car ones 😃🤘

[@badlyniceness2315]

I had access to a yellow one..I worked at a car lot….boss would buy the elans,the frame(?) needed replacing! He had a black one and got an orange one,which I painted yellow…we would tear up the town..they break transaxle.

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Pretty car.

[@viskicini1178]

Hey Drew my man❤❤❤❤❤

[@petermordan8861]

Said he eanted to keep it original Changing the colour wont match with the ID plate so devalued it

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Not always particularly when the original paintwork is shit.

[@jonjoyce3188]

Beautiful colour, but why would anyone repair a Lucas 7” headlight bezel, they were used on nearly every round headlight car from the mid 1950’s to 1970’s, they’re 10 a penny, Drew knows that, such nonsense!

[@iansutherlandcraig]

Bizarre, isn’t it.

[@badlyniceness2315]

Try not putting your back out,entering and exiting..

[@Aut0five]

urgh strombergs

[@exeuropean6639]

Pritchard should stick to garage furniture. Leave this to professionals

[@rolansmith9951]

Sorry drew you prick hard 😂

[@robrob253]

An opinion, but red was better

[@iannolan-f4g]

Drew chooses a colour then does yet another tour of a chroming factory. Yawn.

[@Matnrach2-mf9qr]

Very undesirable Stromberg carbs instead of Webers. Look worse, sounds worse and performs worse.

[@xbioman7882]

Sorry, but a +2 is not one of the most desired classic cars.

[@mrdemocracy7106]

One of the best classic sports cars in my opinion. Beautiful shape car

[@davidfettback3139]

Do your research. Consistently on of the most beautiful lists. Actually quite rare at this point.
