Congratulations to your wife on the purchase. Looked like a nice car in the advert.
Here's to many happy years together (for you and the car and you and the wife, of course ).

Re: 1983 Non Running Eclat
I think I saw this car on Ebay. The window had been broken because the doors were stuck shut. If it is that one, it is an Excel which has the later chassis with the top rear suspension links, rear, outboard disc brakes. galvanized chassis, Toyota gearbox, diff, brakes and door handles, better electr...

Re: Ronnie Peterson Elite for sale
Perhaps not as famous as the examples above but Steve Miller, who was Cosworth's chief engineer on their Indycar engines and went on to be managing director of Ilmor, used to drive his maroon Elite to work now and then. Also, the managing director of Lunaz, a company that converts high-end classic c...

Re: Ronnie Peterson Elite for sale
I've read that it wasn't (isn't?) in particularly good condition needing refreshing at least.

Re: Nice-looking SE for sale on The Market
Oops! Of course it is. Which makes it even better for many. I did see that the timing belt was historic. The description refers to the car being driven on the motorway to the auction base so they were lucky to get away with it. It does suffer from typical low-mileage syndeome where the body and inte...

Elite with galvanized chassis needing restoration on Ebay
Noticed this Elite in need of restoration on Ebay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185326349224?hash=item2b264faba8:g:q64AAOSw0eJiI2KH It does say the car is a good runner! I can't tell in the engine photo whether that's water on the timing belt or a flap of loose rubber. No good to me as I don't have a...
