Emma Peel's Lotus Elan
Just watching an old episode of "The Avengers" from 1967. Diana Rigg (Emma Peel) just zipped off into the countryside in her blue Elan. Such a cool little car! I always thought it was white...

I beleive the first one was white...it was an S2. I think the other two were the blue you talked about. She passed throught US customs here in Buffalo one day when a friend of mine was one duty. She was going to take the place of a Redgrave or maybe it was Julie Andrews in a Broadway show. They wanted to make sure she was not taking a job that an American could have...honest...that is what he told me. Anyways...he had an Elan at the time and they spoke about it. I forget what she said..but I think she told him for the most part it was just a prop...or a car. Although she did like the Lotus.

How cool!
Always liked the characters Diana Rigg played. Still looking for a real-life girl like her...

The "D" suffix in the license plate denotes it as a 1966 car which would be an S3.
Cheers, Michael

Great photos and info! Funny, I was thinking the license plate number would be a fun vanity plate. Only a true Avengers or Lotus fan would ever get it...

yes...you can also tell by the window frames. In the early black and white episodes you get a few shots of an S2 without the window frames. I have not been able to come up with a photo of that car however.
