Only minor thing is the steering wheel is a motolita and it is not the original steering.
Loud speakers have been located in the doors rather than behind the seats.

Car is fantastic inside and out. Very reliable. Sounds great with its exhaust.

Car is currently located south of france, close to Nice airport.

Asking price 34000 pounds.

I have no interest in this car, but I have seen it and it is beautiful.
You'll miss it Cedric...

If you post up a few more pictures Cedric, engine bay / interior, you stand a better chance of selling.

Still available

Good luck with the sell. It's quite cheap for such some upgrades, your car looks very nice. As I also live in France (near Lyon) I wish I had the opportunity to meet you and your gorgeous car. But my car, also a 71' FHC Sprint ils still under light restoration.

You should put it on carandclassic.co.uk

Vous allez la regretter !

Alex.

Sold!

The car will return to UK.

I hope the car will be able to get its old UK registration back?

I will advice the new owner to come to this forum to present himself

Cedric
What are you getting next?

Hi Cedric,

I am here, the new owner of this beauty. I am just arranging for it to be transported back to a wet and windy, Warrington, U.K. And I will then start to really enjoy it through the spring and summer months.

Cedric has been an absolute star with the constant questions I was sending to him.

I am sure that I will have lots of questions over the next few months/years and look forward to contributing to the forum.

Thanks
James

Welcome James !!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Elan Ownership James.
Get yourself across to the Club Lotus meetings in Standish (the White Crow Pub) on the first Saturday of the month. Would be good to see this car in the flesh and of course meet you in the process.
Enjoy

Hey James,
Just replied to your post on Seloc, didn't know you were in Warrington! - so am I - be good to meet up and have a look at your elan when you get it.
Dave

Dave,
Be delighted to meet up and show you round the car, I would like to see your project as well, it looks great.
Will pm you details.
Cheers
James

nice one James, be great to have another elan owner nearby.

Salut James

F?licitations !

A bit of a high-jack, but could be to interest of others: I'm planning to put my Plus 2 on the market. It's also located in France on French plates - what are the formalities (and difficulties) to get your new car (re-) registered in the UK ?

Thanks and enjoy your car !
