Lotus Elan N/A 1992 calypso red (ASSUMED SOLD)

Postby pedro B » Sun 30.11.2014, 23:33

I am selling my lotus Elan N/A 1992 J reg.

She has 97k miles and Full history. Recent Cambelt and aux belts 8 months ago MOT April. 1/2 leather seats,no rips or damage, bit of wear, but no significant loss of colour to the leather, the fabric is stain free and colour is vibrant still.

It surprisingly doesn't leak water through the roof seals when it rains either. Roof in good condition, recently re stained and waterproofed, seals usual wear but not "hanging or rough looking", rear window clear, but there are a few marks. Carpets are clean, grey, and only show signs of minor wear to heel pad on drivers side.

Engine sounds virtually silent with no tappet noise. 2 keys and immobilisers, engine bay clean enough to eat dinner off!

Good tyres front and rear. The paint is in nice condition, had recent paint to front and rear bumpers and both front wings so nice and glossy and keeping her looking fresh and clean, alloy wheels are clean rust free.

Its not a £10k car so don't expect perfection, and its not a £2-3.5k no history, never cleaned or looked after shed with flaking pink paint.

I was looking for £4750 but may take offers from those who turn up with cash. N/As are sought after cars nowadays with only 30 or so left from what I have read recently and as with anything rare, no matter that they were not as popular initially, rarity drives up values, as can be seen across the classic car trade. Performance is 130BHP, 0-60mph- 7.5secs so not a slouch, about 0.8 secs slower than a turbo....but as you may know----" its all about the bends......no turbos" :roll:

Cheshire I reckon ?? Have a look here .....http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/ ... 92/2825874

There's a remarkably similar advert that has been on PH for many weeks "Not a perfect £10k car and not a £3-3.5k shed either"

Based in Stockport.

lots of dreamers wanting a modern car for everyday use....but want to spend 50p to buy it and don't realise it is 23 years old. Its a great motor, good history good condition just doesn't float my boat any more.

I thought advertising it on an enthusiast forum in the "for sale" section would be a good idea.
