This fabulous, if not very practical, estate car was based on a Lotus Elan and devised by Paul Michaels of Hexagon of Highgate. The actual conversion was done by Specialised Mouldings and just two were made. Hexagon also offered a convertible version of the Elan +2 which also bombed. Hexagon was better known for briefly running a couple of Brabhams in Formula One in 'British Racing Brown'. It was also the Monteverdi agent for the UK.

Both 'Elanbulances' still exist and for a while at least were owned by the same chap.

In your heading you've called it an "Elambulance" Yves, but it should actually be "Elanbulance" as Hezza identified it..!
