There appears to be an S1 hood & dash. Wheels may be too. Hence changing them. So for me not entirely ‘very original And unmodified’

Lowish mileage. No rips or tears in the seats. Quite clean and tidy under the bonnet. Good colour.

A buy it now price of £2300 .well good luck . I never trust anything on Ebay that says call this number now, and has many many listings but thats just my opinion .

Well, for you Gob-shite Smith, I say the following.....

.... the Ebay advert is a scam, and has been reported as such (548 similar adverts all listed by same seller).

I don't (yet) know who has cloned this sellers account, but it is amusing to me that they chose a car to make a false advert which even looked like a scam in the original advert (these OCG Romanians are getting sloppy since 4 of the top dogs got sent down a couple of months ago).

I belong to a Facebook group named EVSA (Ebay Vehicle Scam Alert).

In the meantime, Mr Danbury is probably unaware of the fact that his picture is associated with the scam advert.

Oh FFS, I think I am going to :smt078 That pop riveted rear screen.......WTF? Surprised he hasn't used plumbers foam pipe insulation for the seals :lol:

I suspect that the "lovely original example of this classic Lotus Elan" needs a bit more than "minor detailing to finish"

I always thought that about him, but clearly you and I don't know him as well as some random bloke on Facebook who simply knew that he was accusing him of being a scammer, and not trying to educate him about the fact that someone had nicked his genuine advert.

Still, that's always a good way to ingratiate yourself with a fairly close-knit community that you are trying to profiteer from :roll: :roll:

Inviting offers over £7K - what's he been smoking :smt033 :smt033

The "Seal Mule" Monaco white just swapped hands for a lot less than that, and was in far better condition.

It needs a new hood, seals and lights, so that's nearly £2K before you look at anything else. Like the 'partially restored' barn find adverts worded as "95% of work completed", it hides all sorts of faults.
