Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts and runs, needs a new exhaust system, small leak from the radiator and needs a full service. Wheel and tires are ok. Update the car now runs well and stops, also found the roof although it worn. Now upgraded its score to 3.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice and original leatherette interior, good mats, dashboard and door cards. Complete and fresh interior overall.

  • Exterior condition:

    Repainted many years ago, was probably originally orange and white 2 tone, some crows feet in the fiberglass, but not damaged. Soft top roof is missing.

  • General condition:

    The car needs some renovation work and servicing, its a great investment car. I would fix the mechanical parts and just drive as it is.

At approximately 1,500 lb (680 kg), the Elan embodied Colin Chapman's minimum weight design philosophy. The Elan was technologically advanced with a DOHC 1,558 cc engine, four-wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, and 4-wheel independent suspension.
