Sorry to drag up an old topic, but does anyone know for definite what the S1 Elise tank is from?

Mine has a crack just beside the filler neck, aso bought a brand new Rover 200 one on ebay, but think the mountings are slightly different. I'm pretty sure I can make it fit and work though ;)

Doesn't look like an MGF form the only online photos I've been able to find, only other thought is older (pre bubble) Rover 200?

If the 200 one doesn't fit and the MGF one looks wrong, must be Freelander.

The older Honda based 200 had a completely different tank.

It's not Freelander either!

I'm thinking it must be 1992 - 1996 Rover 200!!

The tank you posted isn't the one I had in both of my older K series Rover 200s. Can't remember the age of them now, but at least one of them will be post '92.
