Body off.
Frame cleaned, repairs made, strengthening put in place similar to that of a Elan 26r and repainted in an epoxy undercoat and enamel top coat.
Adjustable suspension including shocks, ride height and camber.
Upgraded brakes including 4 pot front calipers and floating discs. Original brakes come with car.

Body was repaired and Elan 26r wheel arches attached as well as 26r fixed head lights.
Paint is two pack Pepper White with no clear coat.
Interior was restored with new dash top, underdash trims and pillars. The seats are red Alcantara.
Dash is burr Elm but was completed 28 years ago and is showing it's age.
E Nardi in period steering wheel.
Safety devices roll over and intrusion bars. Retractable seat belts.
Engine has forged crank, rods and pistons. Dave Bean cams, springs and valves. Rebuilt port and polished head.

Electrics rebuilt including new upgraded fuse box and relays for all high current services.
New Battery.
Engineers certificate. Full licence but on club concession.
New everex hood and full tonneau.
Workshop and parts manuals.
This is a lovely car to drive. The engine is very torquey and pulls easily from 1500 revs in 4th gear.
Handling is neutral to a bit of oversteer.
Best thing is the exhaust note at 4000 rpm. You will never listen to the radio.
Moving to a smaller residence with less parking so something has to go.
Edited 13.1.25.
