looks in pretty good condition
6k tickets at £4 each seems likely a profitable business.

So £3.99 per ticket and max of 5999 to sell. Owner stands to get £23,936 less commission, probably a fair bit, but that will be a good price for a July '90 model on 77k miles.
MOT History shows it's been presented for MOT with some serious defects as well as the usual 'inadequate handbrake' and 'slack in rear wheel bearings' - never seen a DANGEROUS failure on an Elan before - for bald NSR tyre in 2011, and Leaking NSR Brake in 2012. Not what you could call a "Careful Owner" at that time.
Still, for £4, the winner will have plenty of funds left to sort it. I'd start my ownership with a new cambelt because my 'gut reaction' suggests that is unlikely to have been done.
