Car was last on the road in 1987
The extent of work required to put the car back on the road is not considered to be too difficult, perhaps the brakes would be the biggest task and the windscreen. I have owned this car since 1983, I ran it for 4 years then commenced working abroad so the car was garaged and remained there ever since. This will be a good project for someone. Considering the reputation of these cars and the price they command when restored, this renovation project will appeal to anyone wanting one of these classics. The project Elan cars do not appear very often, it is priced to sell. Restored Elans command upward of 15K to 45K depending on the level of restoration achieved .
Thanks for all the enqueries regarding the Lotus from everyone. The car is now SOLD.
