The Elite sold for £15,750.
I didn't get to look at it (too right to spend £10 on a programme to get into the viewing area) but it's good to see an Elite fetching so much.

Re: Riviera
It does say the listing was ended by the seller as the item is no longer available.

Cheap Elite. Needs more than tlc
Saw this Elite on EBay this evening. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116081828995?itmmeta=01HQKNEV546S2774D8HBM5C0K2&hash=item1b07042483:g:30EAAOSw~Dll3OvC It is in a bit of a state as the advert clearly says. Interesting to see that the rear, lower links of the suspension have rusted through. Not seen t...

Re: Steering Rack removal

Re: Elite 504 for sale for £25,000
Saw this advertised on the December issue of Classic and Sports cars magazine.
https://percivalmotorco.co.uk/1979_Lotus_Elite_504/
Looks like some people are recognising the potential of the 504.

Re: My old SE back on the market
Well it looks like it didn't sell as it's back on EBay. Unfortunately the clutch now needs replacing but the price has dropped accordingly.

Re: Lotus Elite project needs finishing
The owner has rebuilt the carbs and it's now running well so he has decided to keep it and put it back on the road. I don't blame him.
