Mark, Tempting as it was, like Tiger Woods with a hood, it went to a very nice ex airline pilot who lives in Hastings.

Looking forward to seeing you in a week'S time.

Sincerely,

So.............. You have this transported to a reputable Lotus mechanic......
A head skim, new gaskets, new belts, new recon radiator + the substantial labour costs... ????

A car with 115,000 miles on it, and a failed headgasket.

And he wants a price of..........?

[Steve A]

He should of just said,
Please buy my money pit
which by the way needs more money spent on it

[surfboardfiller]

"I have owned the car since April 2003....
....Leaking headgasket so the car needs a remanufactured radiator, head skimmed and new headgasket set. The Tax and Mot have now expired. I am looking for £3000 or very near offer. Bills to show I have spent £11,155 on the car since I have owned it plus the purchase price and the respray!!"

Poor B@stard, this bloke deserves a medal! I hope his new car is a dream of reliability.

So how much did you offer him Phil

I wonder if he'd been on the LEC would he have had half the trouble he's had

[surfboardfiller]

:twisted: So how much did you offer him Phil

I am still looking for a dead or crashed one, but I'm only paying £1k and I think that would be the final insult to his ownership.

Price now dropped to £2350... hmm... getting more tempting....

How difficult is it to do a head gasket on one with A/c?

[Jackonicko]

Not that tempting.

Spend all that time and money (assuming that the head is skimmable, and that the block hasn't cracked) and you're left with a reasonable Elan that still has 115,000 miles on it.

You can't help but feel extremely sorry for the owner, but it's really worth very little.

Hi, anyone near Reading (postcode RG6) that could have a look at the NMY Elan that's on autotrader right now?
Any kind souls can PM me to get the details.

cheers, Arch

[tomac1975]

It must have done, if he gets that for it i'd consider selling mine which is lower milage

[Jackonicko]

Bargain!

[speed-demon]

This is an LEC car. Bought from Will B if I'm not mistaken... There is a thread somewhere.

Well I reckon I could buy at this price, break it and turn a profit - the dash, boot carpet, jack holder alone are probably worth £1500.

[tomac1975]

Especially if you sell them in the Bolton area

[Jackonicko]

No, stop. That's too funny.

[BigErch]

I see M100 PW is up for sale again. Looks like it did indeed go to a garage. They're now looking for £9k. That's an expensive valet and polish!
It's on pistonheads too.
