cheap elan in gumtree (ASSUMED SOLD / DEAD LINK)

[finny70]

not an elan owner yet but while I was looking I spotted this, £1000 m plate elan, needs work? in Lincolnshire http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-moto ... 1043298577

[clemo]

looks like a blue H plate to moi

Cheap, but there is no hint as to its condition - other than that it is cheap.

The thing that strikes me about Elans is how well they scrub up. They always look fantastic after a wash, and this one is no exception.

£1000 / 40,000 miles

Engine size 1,500 cc

Don't look right to me.

[finny70]

can see a cracked front bumper on it, might be right dog but if cheap enough I thought might be worth breaking for parts, if it was local enough I would have a look just to report back but its to far away

Engine size is wrong but that could just be a typo. Smells fishy to me

[Fredjohn]

Is this C10DUS with its original number back on?

Right location......

[Rusty Wishbone]

The cover on the top of the dash has been removed, I notice.

This is Munch Power's mate's Elan - see here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=22589&p=284869#p284869
Note the slashed hood. It doesn't run and will at the very least take swapping parts to and from a running Elan in order to get it going again.
The wiring has been butchered beyond belief over the last 5 years, and it has puddles in the seats and footwells.
Also note that the mileage has somehow dropped by 18k since the pics on the thread in the link above were taken!

Thought it looked a bit dodgy

Well spotted Neil,

I recon I have all the bits to get that going again (full wiring loom for engine bay and dashboard plus ecu, coils, etc) just not got anywhere to store it

Yours for under a grand Andy

Looks like it's gone. Wonder how long it will be before we start getting questions about it again...?
