Small catch - the prices 1,760 Euro for the static model, 2,160 Euro for the radio control version. English language description here: http://tinyurl.com/2ap6ab4

Would I like one?
Yes!
Do I need one?
Definitely not at that Price!

I paid less than that for an S 1 runner in 1978
but it sure is nice.

very nice model indeed. Hefty price though. I'd rather spend it on my 1:1 model to be honest.
Weber overhaul and a center console for example would do the trick.

Does not look like the door, bonnet or boot open from the photos? For that price I would want everything to work ....
Buy a Sunstar model for lot less.

There is a great list of Elan models here:

I've only just taken a closer look at the Photos of the Model & like yourself I think it's a pretty poor job especially considering that it's 1/8 Scale.

The "Sunstar" Elan is really very good considering the price.
The bloomin' Windscreen with it's bulbous double curvature, really let's it down though.
Any Modelers on here who can correct that fault?
I wanted to paint my "Sunstar" the same colour of my 1/1 Elan but it''s a bugger to pull to pieces & there was no answer from the Maker when I asked if they could provide replacement Decals etc.
