I bought a copy in 1984. Did you notice that the drivers door glass has collapsed?

I also bought a copy of that book many years ago. I hadn't noticed the dodgy window though.

I bet who ever owned the elan on the cover is having a chuckle at how long it took someone to notice the dodgy window.. :lol:

Wheels are painted gold matching the bumper and stripes.
Was that factory made?

I thought sprint wheels were black?
