Heads up!..Elan at Auction... (SOLD)

Quite pleased if this is correct and shows an upward trend. I have recently bought an absolutely immaculate 2 owner April 95 registered NMY S2 (with unmarked piped full Raven leather) with a fLsh and a verified 24,100 miles only for £11,600 from a well known Lotus dealer. Car had a new cat fitted recently (i know its debatable if it needs one!), has a perfect original Tickford hood and is stunning in every respect. I'd previously sold my Calypso red S2 48,500 mile for 10k on here so i think i'll keep it low miles and preserve it for shows. Always thought they'd catch on eventually! I also note there is a white S2 with 59,000 miles for £11,995 for sale on ebay at a company called Speedwell.

The car AS, sold was immaculate, but had 29000 miles on the clock when he sold it.

AS's car might have been immaculate on the face of it but even with such a low mileage he still had a few niggles and problems. The biggest one was the smell of petrol - . I suggested looking at the filler pipe at the top of the petrol tank and not brimming it when he filled up but I don't think he ever bottomed it out. I think there have been a few others on LEC - mainly Fed. owners ?? who have had similar problems and I believe, from memory, that it was a Lotus recall in the States ??

AS also paid top whack for it at PaulMatty so hopefully didn't lose too much when he sold it
