Your reassessment of the serial number now marks it as a 1984 model, and though the Triath-Elan was introduced that year, the colour is not specified. The Special, which did sport eyelets, was offered in a Blue.
Would you please upload at least a full bike photo (taken of the Drive Side?) It's the price of doing business here.
