Re: Very nice Elite S2 for sale this weekend

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.

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...

2 interesting Elites for sale

I came across these two adverts for Elites for sale. https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1669539#&gid=1&pid=4 https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/16114912 Neither is perfect, i.e they both need work but the asking prices are strong which, to me, is a sign that people are thinking that they are wort...

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.
