Good luck with the sale.

Obviously, I'd like to see the price of cars with 'survivor' paint doing well.

Unusual donor here for a Forosa, Sammio or similar. Has a very nice registration, too -

I would restore the Elan.

That's probably a more sensible thing to do with it but likely to be a much more expensive route as it has no engine, gearbox, front & rear screens or interior.

It's pretty much a partly galvanised rolling chassis, incomplete suspension, badly decayed body, a pair of doors and a valuable registration number, which is why I thought it would make a good, if a bit exotic, donor for a rebody conversion.

It's also now under £2k -

I’d fit a Zetec on throttle bodies , stripped interior, ratty outside so leave it !!!!

piss of the purists
