Thanks Bryan.
The one on Facebook is also now on Ebay - Again. I did have it on the register.
Owner is optimistic on price for a garage find. It's been doing the rounds now for about 3 months.

Update on current state of the register.
We now have eye's on over 800 cars. An overall summary across Elite, Eclat and Excels:


More specifically for Elite / Excel:


And Excel:


And finally the % of DVLA registered names - Isn't changing significantly from when we had far fewer cars on the register, so would seem to be a good breakdown.


Sorry : Lost the column titles in the above, but they are the same as the Excel columns one above.

Hi.

Not sure if you have mine already, has been for sale a couple of times in the last 3 years so perhaps you've added it previously.

Tony,

Curve ball, my Nov 86 SA (no 3) is I believe an MY 87!

Hi Tony

There were a couple of Elites on ebay with the same vendor near me (Farnham) & I went & had a look at the weekend.

I was interested in a red 503, which seemed to be all there, although a few bits had been removed from the car. All the ali trim was in fair condition: NVV 849P. I took a picture of the VIN plate, but now I've come to look at it, my phone had done something strange with it & all I can tell you is the chassis No. begins, 75/060 & ends 0514A (I think) - so perhaps the chassis No is 75/060514A. Engine ML760212501.

The other Elite, which looked to have been a pale blue-green before its respray, was in a much more sorry state. No number plates. Chassis 76/110983A. Engine DL7761113246.

The red one sold for £1,120 & the other one for £602.

I need to break the MY 86 data down into at least 1 more group. Currently it has everything between MY86 & MY 89 so is a very large group and over 1/3 of the full excel record.

TonyL - Thanks for the Details for the cars in Farnham. The Red sale fell through, - just been relisted on Ebay. The chassis plate for that car was in a photo on Ebay last August, so I had the basics - enough to confirm your guesses are correct. Interesting though that the engine was produced in Feb 76, the chassis 8 months earlier in June 75. But the car was registered in Nov 75, so something looks odd.
