Taking the proverbial

[Giniw]

That is a bargain, £40 cheaper than that one:

£100 higher than the last time I saw one ... (but for that price at least you have and odd (?) perspex cover )

It certainly makes an Elise rear light conversion an attractive proposition.

At some point the OEM lights will be almost impossible to get hold of and that will probably be at a point when the value of these cars go up and people stop scrapping them for parts. I did wonder whether an Elise conversion would be a wise thing to do just to protect the existing lights so that the future value of the car is maintained. Mine got smashed by a freshly qualified spotty youth taking his sister to the supermarket for the first time. I think he had an "ooh squirrel" moment. Is anyone doing an all in package out there or is it a question of cobbling the bits together and doing it yourself?

Rambo,
Not far off what I had to pay for one two years ago from South West Lotus because there wasn't one anywhere else and probably still cheaper than DVB. Makes buying a dog of a car as a donor look worthwhile.
Andy

But presumably that was for brand spanking new Andy ??

I'm sure there is some merit in true M100 lovers clubbing together to buy a couple of cheapo EBay Elan's, stripping them and offering parts to genuine, established LEC owners in dire straits at a "fair" price. If I had the mechanical skills and the time, I would do just that

Unfortunately that was for a secondhand part that was in good but not perfect condition. £360 from memory.

Why is he even trying to sell it if he knows it is heavily damaged/potentially dangerous ?

Why not give it away free with a set of wheels.

[Artaban]

I can't claim this is the actual wheel but i bought one from DVB that was bent though it wasn't advertised as such. I took it to an engineering company that were straightening wheels as a sideline; they had about 20 different wheels in at the time (alloy and steel) so they knew what they were doing. They couldn't straighten it without severely weakening it so I sent it back though I had to revert to quoting European law to persuade DVB to refund me. Maybe this would be worth, at most £5, if there was a company out there that could safely straighten it but I haven't found one. If I was them I wouldn't like to supply a wheel I knew wasn't straight and I'd been told by a customer that they couldn't be safely straightened. But then they appear to be more about the money than their customers safety.

Like the new definition of mint

"
Would be mint if sand blasted and re-plated. ". Really(!)

Good condition ...
Let just think about this for a moment .

And then consider for a nanosecond that you can get a pair from an EM model Honda Civic which will look a thousand times neater, fit beautifully, work superior, last the lifetime of the car, and probably cost no more than a sweet skin diver .

[clemo]

£1.99 for a brand new boxed version.

I think i will go for the Enright version at the same price please.

looks like it's been in a smash I think it's a bit more than "play worn"

Possibly only suitable for spares. Maybe DVB or Apollo will snap it up

PS Is it the same Woody as on here ?

Well that might explain the price . He is aware that Elan prices are going up

Want a numberplate that doesn't say lotus at lotus prices

I'm glad about that Woody. Because this EBay w00d5y is taking the piss. £1.99 for a knackered model of an Elan without door or windscreen and £3.20 on postage

Have a look at the other crap that w00d5y's trying to flog. Everything but a dead horse

Why on earth would somebody waste that much time listing cr@p. Overpriced crAp at that .
