The time has come for me to part with my Elan. I barely use it and I can no longer get down and do the necessary work myself, also I need the garage as a workshop. I'd rather someone took it on as a project rather than see it broken, and I have no real idea as to what to ask for it. Here are a few positives and negatives.
71,500 miles which seems genuine as I've had the car since 2008

New battery

Nearly full tank of E5/Super
Calypso Red and needs a respray, because clearcoat is lifting in odd places
