S2 Roadster 5-speed For Sale...maybe
Posted: Mon May 13, 2013 12:27 am
Hi Everyone.
I have begun contemplating selling my fully restored Elan S2 roadster. Car is RHD, location is Niagara, Canada. My motivation is due to having three small children, two of which are boys that enjoy going to shows and vintage racing. I'm thinking it might be a season to change gears into a pre '73 911 to be able to enjoy sportscars and road trips with my kids and pass on the passion to the next generation while they are impressionable. I love the Elan of course, and so this process would be bitter sweet indeed.
Some key features:
- Engine rebuild 2500 miles ago. High compression drop forged pistons, big valves, sprint+ cams (degreed), stainless header (ceramic powder coated)
- Alfa Romeo 105 Series 5-speed transmission with new second gear synchro (original transmission along with parts to convert back included except drive shaft which was modified in the conversion)
- Original rust free chasis. Front cross brace holds vacuum for 45 min plus (that's when i gave up waiting)
- Desirable upgrades include knockoffs, CV joints, rear adjustable height Koni shocks
- All new interior panels, console, seat covers from Famous Frank. Panels have thin foam padding giving a more luxurious feel than standard while appearing OEM
- Body has excellent fit. Door fit about the best I have seen. Older paint completed by previous owner but in excellent condition
-Car has been completely restored with parts too numerous to list from seals to stainless steel brake caliper pistons, and i can give a more comprehensive list to anyone interested.
If there is anyone interested, I can be reached at darren.thom at bayer dot com. I would be interested to hear what the group considers the value to be on this car. I have been looking for some time, but it is rare for an S2 of this build quality to be available for sale.
