I find it hard to believe you could push that car anywhere

..............and already bid up to ?4300 which isn't up to the reserve. The seats are going to need a good hose down!

And an amazing 95 bids - I can't recall ever seeing that many bids before on anything on eBay.
Wonder what the record is, and what the item was.....

And an amazing 95 bids

......but only 13 actual bidders with the highest bidder new to ebay being registered less than 30days and no feedback.....Hmmm...interesting

It's sooo sad to see a car (just like mine, '67 elan) in such a sad state.

RESERVE NOT MET yet, just how much does he want for that basket case???

[ardee_selby]

Did anyone on here take this one on?

You Guys !
They're worth what they sell for.
Just like Jello.

It went for ?6899 so what value do we put on a good useable car these days as an S2 basket case sold for ?9000 ?

IMHO
The eBay auction certainly confuses me, things are looking more up than I thought, unless it's a "funny" eBay auction.
Ian, do you have a link to the sold S2 basket case? For me to try and even ponder an answer to your question my gut says twice as much for a usable Elan.
Maybe the F1 effect is already taking place.
Build numbers are a key to collector car market values and Elans are a "skeleton".
Smart guys are ditching the stock market and buying things they can not only put their hands on, but enjoy too.

Wonder if we're in for a repeat of the Classic Car investor 'bubble' of the early eighties - if so, hang on tight and prepare to bale out at the top of the market!

Eric the S2 for restoration is item no. 200465502373 went for ?9000

Thank You Ian, once again, an Elan that brings a surprisingly high price, although if one were to sell the dash, steering wheel, door handles, cylinder head and removeable hardtop they'd be halfway home to their investment !
It is a wacky world.
