Hi everyone,

I just joined, because having wanted an Elf forever, today I took delivery of my beautiful Coco.

She is a Mark III, 1969. She has an 80s Metro engine, which is going straight to the local mechanic to look at tomorrow.

She is in pretty good condition, apart from a few rust spots and missing overriders. The seats have been recovered in vinyl, the carpet and ceiling vinyl need replacing. There are other cosmetic TLC things to occupy me, but I think she is as elegant and timeless as her namesake. Smile

Nice to meet you all.

Ali

[PS - I uploaded some pics, but I see I have to wait 7 days before I can regale you with those!)

You can always upload them to flickr or photobucket or somewhere and give us the linky.

"New members are not allowed to post links or email for 7 days"

But if you were to put flickr dot com in front of the following file paths, you might get by that?

/photos/29219047@N00/6139150937/

/photos/29219047@N00/6141755686/

...and thank you, everyone, for being so welcoming. Smile

Hope I'm not treading on toes here but I thought I'd copy the given filepaths into a post so we could all see.

You won't be surprised to find you already met us in Dunboyne a couple of weeks ago! You were my inspiration to go for it.

I'd be delighted to show you Coco anytime. Your advice would be more than welcome. I'll pm you a phone no.

Ali.

Hi Taz
Just wanted to let you know, I have sent you a couple of PMs with my details etc., but they never seem to leave my out box. Please try to get in touch with me if you'd still like to meet up because we'd love to get together. Smile
