Hi Mick and Keith

Thanks for looking.

The Elsan is definitely part of my plans, I had no idea they were so rare. Don’t the new Dormobile Company make them any more?

I’m quite set on the V8 although I do have a 200 TDi ‘in stock’ :o) I know petrol engines whereas diesels are still a new science to me and I am staunchly self sufficient in the mechanical department.

I’m hoping to acquire free wheeling hubs at some stage which should help with the V8 mpg (gpm?) as will a move off of carbs. My 110 CSW V8 is on gas but finding room for gas tanks might be tricky on the 2A which will not be a daily runner. That said, if I could wangle tanks in without spoiling anything undernearth I would consider it
