Tracing my Father’s Elan

PostPost by: Olivermather » Wed Apr 06, 2022 11:55 am

Please can anyone help to trace my Dad’s old Elan… He first owned it in 1965 and then bought it back in the 80’s and restored it. Unfortunately he had to sell it around 1992. I think it may have been sold abroad, as it is no loner registered in the UK with the DVLA. It’s a long shot but I’d love to be able to buy it and return it to the family. The only details I have are below…

Registration EDG144C
Last 5 VIN numbers 64640
Engine S/N LP3277LBA
Colour RED

Any help to trace it would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks
