I think it will. There’s been a black Eclat that looked very nice that has been for sale for similar price for about a year - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224965426569 ... media=COPY

The same car went through Anglia Car Auctions in June 2018 making £10,600. The buyer from 2018 is now moving it on.
The description in the Auction ad makes it look a potentially very usable Eclat - Galvanised Chassis, 2.2 Litre etc.
A good buy at £10K, but the resale is stretching it, especially as it is yet anther car with very few miles in the last 20 years.

I saw the car when I went to the viewing day. It did look very nice but not perfect. I would have thought that £10,000 was a decent buying price but I'm not sure there will be many willing to pay £15,000.

Unfortunately, the elite/eclat/excel is now being bought & sold by the Jay Emm crowd who are flipping cars to make a quick profit usually without doing anything to them!
