1971 Elan Sprint DHC For Sale £29,500

PostPost by: trw99 » Tue Oct 01, 2024 5:20 pm

Nice wee runner for sale in Austria, RHD genuine Sprint, came off the production line in Aug 71, sold via Bell & Colvill but not registered until Sep 72, apparently. Now on Dellortos, but would originally have been Weber equipped at that stage of production.

Not concours by any means but running and I dare say the asking price has wiggle room.

See: https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1762398

No connection.

Just like my Sprint with Steering Wheel not signed. Nice to see another Sprint with Wheel not signed.
Seems rare also dark green for a Sprint

Who’s is the signature on that steering wheel then?
Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?

Hi Tim,
You're right it's a signed Wheel.
My cojonctivitis at the moment doesn't help.
So the unsigned on my Sprint is even rarer lol.
I'll maybe check with the Son of the first owner soon to see to his knowledge if the Wheel was ever changed a suive......

P.s. i thought it is WHOSE but after 32 years in France i'm loosing my command of English
