Description:

I bought this car from Craig Chima, he bought it himself from the fellow who wrote this description, I have asked race-cars.com to just use the original advertisement. The only difference I can see in specification is that the battery is now housed in a plastic box rather than the fancy aluminum one illustrated here. I haven't raced the Elan nor run it on any track, it has been merely driven in and out of my air conditioned storage area on two or three ocassions. I bought this car when advertising for parts to restore and race prep my 65 Bahama Speed Weeks Elan, thinking that this would be an easy way to go racing with CSRG. Unfortunately I would have to change the dry sump set-up, carbs, brake bias adjuster and so many of the other features that I feel are an essential part of the cars make up. This is why I have offered the Elan for sale and so here is the original advert
