rynicolson Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Anyone advise on best tyres for an Elan Sprint, with new stiffer twin wishbone spider chassis. Current options seem to be MX5 based 175/70/R13, used to be able to get Goodyear GP's. Thanks in advance Richard, aka...

Super_Rich_Bernie Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 The Avon CR6ZZ would be a good choice. A number of folks with old Alfas use them. Pretty sure they are available in that size. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoile Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hi Rynicolson. Am thinking about an Elan (the proper one !) Can you give me any contact details like website for the club etc. Unable to find anything - which is not unusual for me...Regards Mike H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehoile Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hi se7enmad. Thanks for the info - much appreciated - now where can I store it !! Always fancied one & wish I'd bought one before. Not sure that I can get rid of the 7 though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se7enmad Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hi Mike, beautiful cars are'nt they. Some of the best Sunday morning in my childhood were spent on the few inches available for me to squeeze behind my mum's seat in the S4. I remember a lot of blur from the wind buffeting and my first grins. The Elan's carbs growling in empty roads. Nice days 😬 Antonella 1998 Caterham Classic my site heremore photos here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Mike H, I've got a fully restored and sorted 1974 Elan Sprint Hardtop which has to go. If you're interested than email me.
