Peter Lydford Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Long story this one ...... I bought this car then sold it to buy a S4 Elan. I then sold the Elan and bought back the +2 from the chap I sold it to, now I have too many cars and not enough time so one has to go :-( 1973 Elan+2S/130/5, Spyder chassis with adjustable suspension all round, the engine has been re-built by the previous owner I orignally got the car from, also the gearbox was re-built. The engine runs very well and has no known faults, the gearbox is also very good with no jumping out of any gear. The car actually drives very well and handles nicely due to the adjustable suspension etc: Now the poor bits, basically it needs re-painting and re-trimming, the body is very good with no signs of any previous crash damage, the interior is complete and everything works, nothing is missing, all lights work, not broken glass or lights, the electric windows are sloooow (as usual!) The really sad thing is if I broke the car I would end up with more money than selling it complete, I want £2750 for the whole car as it is. I don't really want to break it because it's such a good car, but if I have to I will. e-mail for pictures and location peterl@digi.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Bill Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Will Spyder not take it on as a donor car for a zetec project? Hope not for posterity(sp?) but maybe an option. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lydford Posted January 16, 2004 Author Share Posted January 16, 2004 The car's on ebay, it's hit the reserve of £2400, and I have had 50 odd people ask if I'll accept a higher price to end the auction early ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
