Valuation
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2006 12:22 pm
As the garage is pretty full, and wife says it's time to start working on the house, I'm thinking of selling one - or more - of the cars to fund the work needing to be done.
As the +2 was the last car brought to the fleet, it is normal that it will be the first to go. She says...
But;
I have absolutely no ide of the value.
I know what I paid, and I know what costs I have put into the car.
Living in Norway there is not many potensial buyers, so I am thinking of advertising it in the UK, or on eBuy.
Is it possible for anyone to give a kind of clue what I might expect, from my descripton and some pictures?
The car is a 1971 RHD +2S 130/4, blue all over, and with a webasto sun roof. No leak. All service history and MOT receipts comes with the car.
Interior is OK.
Galavized chassis.
New galavanized sills (from Spyder) this summer, as well as new seat-belt anchorages.
New brake master cylinder, repaired clutch master cylinder, and new brake hoses all round.
New Pirelli tires on newly sand-blasted wheels (chrome missing, though)
Everything working, except the extra/fog lights.
Milage, ca 56000 miles (IIRC)
A few cracks around the right rear wheelarch has been fixed, but some damages to the paint is of course visible.
Not a mint car, but absolutely a good runner.
Pictures - and some information on the work done - can be found at http://www.haverstad.net/lotus/elan/
Thankful for any hints on price estimates...
