Well done. It is indeed a Kia Elan, check the bonnet and wheel badges. Apparently When Lotus collapsed before being taken over Kia bought the rights to the Elan and began making them. First one I've ever seen or even heard of!! Further info at :

Thats good to know Mick, when I saw that and your ROFL's I did think perhaps a bit of numberplate photoshopping may have gone on Shame on me!

Now don't put ideas in my head!! That definitely would not be cricket!!
I do think that may be the rarest car on the thread tho!!

oh dear.....I think this looks quite nice. But really it fetched next to nowt at the ACA August Auction. Taking it as a barometer of the desirability of 90's fairly ordinary looking audis like that black one I previously posted, i suspect that the black one isnt going to move far from its current resting place, and slowly fade away in spite of having that quattro badge.

I have posted the French Contingent from that Auction over on the Classic Under 10K thread.

including DS estate, 2 x CX, and even a C6!, Renault Vel Statis, and a Peugeot 505

Just now, on the way into Reading, I was overtake by a red Jaguar E-Type, EOG 181K (I think the reg is correct).

With that vintage of E-type, the standard reds were signal, or this rather gorgeous Regency Red

This little site gives the colours years and pics for the DS family of cars. I think the colour is probably Bordeaux.
