Guess what

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-LOTUS-EL ... SwPc9Wuifp

"worth a few a bit on its own" What on Earth does that mean?. Wonder what happened to the bidder of 4350, Didn't have enough shilling .

Ref the Burgundy one for £4250 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-elan-m1 ... SwKtlWp-eG
Its been around for a while so I've no idea why it hasn't sold. I like the colour and the bonnet vents would be an easy fix as replacement bonnets appear all the time on eBay so it would be fairly simple to get one painted in the same colour. Anybody actually been to see it?

Me too. I've seen it advertised on Ebay at least 3 times now

With reference to the bonnet, wasn't SurfboardPhil selling a bonnet along with side panels last week? I'll see if I can dig the advert out if anyone's interested in the burgundy/silk red car

...but these items have now been snapped up

Ref E14 NPP http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151978766652? ... EBIDX%3AIT
Messaged the seller and he says the cambelt has now been done. Previous seller said the performance upgrade was £350; this guy says £500
He says that the receipt is from Lotus (he didn't clarify whether factory, dealer or independent) and it says "turbo boost kit fitted and boost set"
What would that be? Not sure when it was done but sounds like it wasn't done recently.

Only one stripe Clemo There can only ever be one Stripey

that be him ... that be the one ... the one with my old commemorative S2 yellow spoked wheels on too ...

[andys2cars]

My old green stripey one for sale! Has a lovely engine, drives really well. Has/had a bit of sunshine damage here and there, spent a lot of money to get the lights to work properly(opera glass ones) well worth a look, to anyone interested, maybe see if Rambo knows of its past??

[epipete]

It has a very nice description in the advert, says nowt about the car but captures the spirit beautifully!

[tb10]

Delusional or what?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-LOTUS-EL ... Swo0JWJ-X7



With paintwork like that it needs serious attention (if it was 'just' needing 'compund and polish' he'd have done that!)......................and the fact that he's been trying to sell this for well over a year doesn't bode well!.

[dapinky]

Hmmmm.....

....poetic licence used in the advertising.

The 'agreed value' is by Flux insurance - they will agree virtually any value you want (within reason, obviously!) without ever inspecting the car - as long as you pay the appropriate premium.

If it were done with some of the other specialist insurers, they require either a set of good photographs, or a report from Club Lotus (or an approved 'agent' - Paul Matty is one, and I'm sure there are others).

It purely relates to the 'write-off' payment which will be made for a total loss, and has nowt to do with market value.

Now, not wishing to call it a dog, or talk down Elan 'values', there are far better cars about for the money. This one needs work (I fully appreciate that some good stuff has been done, like the wishbones), and the quality of the paintwork is shocking. I dread to think what amount of preparation has been done before applying the paint with a roller!

I'm sure that it will find a home with someone (it's a drivable rolling project, after all) - - - - eventually - - - - at the right price.

If I had an insurance agreed value of £9,500 on a 176,000 mile H reg SE I'd be tempted to buy a box of matches ...

[tb10]

[Scott J]

I had a black Elan also with 175,000 miles and new rear wishbones as well as new PNM rear brakes, stealership gave me £3k, and Par paid £4k, see Project black thread for the car.
£9500 PMSL .

[Rambo]

You were robbed by the Scottish Motor Services stealership Scott. Thought it was only £2500 they begrudgingly gave you anyway Your AP front calipers, rear upgrade and the SS wishies were worth that alone

PS SMS have re-branded as Dick Turpin Motors

[andys2cars]

I think I might put a cheeky offer in, maybe £9250

[andys2cars]

OOOPS forgot the decimal point! £925.0 only joking, someone will buy it love it and drive it
