Looks to me the opposite. It has an early head with the half moons in the middle.

The early type head is correct for this age car I believe - maybe the ad is referring to it having a 6 bolt lip seal crank bottom end rather than the earlier 4 bolt rope seal crank.

I sold my Series 2 last year to a fellow LOONY. Needs a small amount of work, mostly just driving now and working out small issues. My friend who has an Exige and a large family has decided that there is a huge difference between an Exige and an early Elan. I realize we are in Buffalo NY, but it might be worth it with the price difference. On the other hand I would be nervous selling a car to someone so far away as everyone's expectations are so different.
