Nice garage and collection of cars! The Lotuses are wonderful to drive, old and new. I see a Ducati poster on the wall - are you a Duc man as well?
I owned a 1993 900SS for years. It used to reside on the "Flor" carpet tiles.
I miss it but once riding it in California, MI just didn't offer the same experience to enjoy it. I may get another bike someday (probably a vintage BMW but one never knows...) but currently I have enough to keep me busy for sure...
Thanks! I've worked on it being a decent place to work plus the added element of cleanliness. I've always had a thing for Lotus since I was a kid and when I learned the Elise was announced I pounced! It's wonderful car in the track and on the canyon roads in So Cal... To be honest it's fragile to an extent so these days I'd rather rum ny MINI (R53) rather than it,
As for space, yes its nice but more cars equal not enough space...lol That said I added an Elan S2 as I wanted to fulfill the goal while I could of having the spiritual successor to the Elise (and what started me on the Lotus bug when I was a kid) to the stable at the same time.
Call me "challenged"....
Where you at Laguna Seca 2 years ago for the historics? I saw this Elan there and liked it very much. Looks to be the same?

Thanks for asking but no not the same car. Two years ago My elan was under restoration and I didn't own it yet..lol
The example you posted is a different green more "minty" than BRG, the strip is different and the wheels are center knock offs which I can assure is only the beginning of along list of differences. However they are both 26R's.. Mine being a "tribute/specification" on an S2.
Nice - I have almost the twin of yours, except it's a '95. I've also just finished up a restoration on a 1978 900 seen here just before the bodywork went on. Past 4-wheeled vintage racers in the garage have been a '58 Abarth Zagato and a '67 Renault Alpine, (staying with the Porsche rear-engined theme....) but I'm too old to race anymore.

Beautiful Duc... I believe it's timeless. I Do miss it at times. So simple and reliable. Full of character as well. I lament at times selling it....
