Does anyone on here know anything about this elan ? I?m looking to get a car as a road car with some sprints or racing in the future.
What?s the general opinion on the spec/build ?

The car looks to be nicely put together from the pictures, though the devil is in the detail.
I don't know the rules for club sprints, but I believe it will need a full cage fitted for circuit racing.

If you just want it as a fast road/sprint car then it is fine as it is. I have been told it's a very fast car!
Best regards, P

Thanks, I?m not sure of what?s been done to the suspension etc, but on the face of it it doesn?t look too bad for the money.

If I'm completely honest with you, I have worked for Paul Matty as part of a work experience course. The attention to detail they go to before a car goes on sale is unbeatable. The price of this car seems ideal seeing as it is such a fast car!
