So if the spread between a ratty Elan and one in very good condition is between £4k and 'only' £15k, does it not reinforce the argument that they should be driven as if they were stolen and just throu

Well I have left a deposit on a blue M100. The car does need a few things doing, certainly a hood, a couple of small holes and the rear plastic screen is not clear. (Seem to remember that the soft top

How about this little beauty on Ebay?

That's the one that Keith was (sarcastically) referring to when he made his comment of an N/A being worth 50K

Its made it up to Lancashire, if it was a lot more local then who knows. As an NA it must be worth getting on for £50k in a few years...based on the other NA - whose bodywork looks a little tired.

I think he is delusional (the seller, not Keith 🤣)

Not far from me, a bit north of Bournemouth. Showed it to her indoors - not impressed by any such ideas.

@Rambo the blue one is in Verwood where Nige lives.....

Haven't seen Nige for years Dave. I think it was Sy's funeral about 7 or 8 years ago. Have you seen him recently?

"no body rust issues to worry about ever"

Yes, but what about all the bits underneath?

And lots of work to do to get it through an MOT 🤔

Repair immediately (major defects):

  • Nearside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))
  • Offside Front Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))
  • Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))
  • Nearside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))
  • Offside Headlamp not working on dipped beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))
  • Nearside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))
  • Offside Headlamp not working on main beam (4.1.1 (a) (ii))

Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):

  • Power steering component has slight seepage from a component (2.1.5 (a))
  • Nearside Front Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
  • Nearside Front Suspension arm corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
  • Offside Front Suspension arm corroded but not seriously weakened (5.3.3 (b) (i))
  • Nearside Front Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Offside Front Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Offside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Offside Front Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
  • Nearside Rear Tyre slightly damaged/cracking or perishing (5.2.3 (d) (ii))
  • Nearside Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))
  • Offside Rear Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrule (1.1.12 (f) (i))

Not bad if you can get it for £3k or thereabouts 👍

Yes I looked at those, some are repeats as on an earlier MOT, most are typical brake problems , is this really just from little use?  Tyres must be old, but aren't too expensive.

Not sure how expensive the 2 suspension issues would be.

Surely not Azure blue, which is much lighter and more like Renault electric blue. 

A quick Google suggests Italian blue was a Type 100 colour

Definitely not Azure. Or Pacific. Nor steel blue either. Never heard of an "Italian blue" S2 🤔

It could be Midnight blue though, which was a DuPont colour.
