Modified Elan with Zetec

Hello all,
Here's a car that many of you will remember on display a few years back at Donington. It's had one or two owners since then and to the best of my knowledge was last sold through UK Sportscars late last year.
From my up close inspection it doesn't appear to have been cherished these last 4 years and needs quite a bit of spannering to stop bits dropping off (literally) and there is paint damage to the front which needs sorting. The new owner has it in at Spyder for some remedial work and apparently wants to make the engine bay look a bit more sober, which I'm sure most people here would approve of. Hopefully the new owner got it for a good price, with a bit of work it will be a very nice car indeed.
I have blurred out the number plate a little, but you can see that it's K registered which makes it the right ballpark for a genuine Sprint, but using Tim Wilkes spotters guide there doesn't appear to be the extra lip on the body moulding at the bottom of the rear valence.
