If the car would be as good as it looks on e-bay, Paul Matty would have bought it right away for resale!
At least I think he would....

Well, the real Jens surely isn't in the southern part of Sweden anymore. At the moment he's sitting in the Netherlands hijacking everybodys Lotuselan.net accounts.
But - apart from the bad jokes - if anyone is interested, the offer is still standing. Just a 45 minute drive from me to Amsterdam. Could try and have a look if you want.
I might even go ahead and buy the car - just to find out that it is a mockup sitting on a VW-beetle chassis... Wouldn't that be someting. A rear engined Elan DHC....

My one problem is that distance keeps me from my Elan. (36/5395)

Jens,
are you referring to this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Replica- ... 8733QQrdZ1
I'm sorry I didn't save it properly so the pictures are gone but it's a VW rear engined "Lotus Elan." The body looked like an S1 or 2, wierd. An Autodynamics Hustler VW Car search should provide some links to pics.

This Elan was sold overnight for ?4500 to someone in Germany, to whom I have just sent the following message:-
Hello, I am contacting you regarding the red Lotus Elan, as there are reasons to believe that this sale is a scam. For your own good, please see http://www.lotuselan.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14418
I would suggest that you do not make any payment to the vendor before you have both the car and all its papers - which I suspect the vendor will not allow you to do! If I have just saved you ?4,500 pounds, please would you make a donation to your local Society for the Protection of Animals.
Wishing you well, Tony
Hopefully I wasn't too late!

Great minds think alike (or is it fools seldom differ?) but I've just done the same thing asking him/her to report back on the outcome....

It looks like this scammer has a (UK) Monopoly board.
