Here i have my new elite LHD

this will be a new project from me,
i will start with working on the car when i have a interested guy how wants to buy the car,
because i can deliver this car with:

- galvanized chassis
- the car allready on the galvanized chassis
- with Leather
- or just how it is right now,



the chassis has some little uppersurface rost,but... its still good..
so the new owner dont has to swap a chassis, but when you want to have it perfect..
so lets see what happens, and when i will start i will post some pictures on this forum..




























the car will be delivered complete !!

that means:

with cambelt cover and
all kind of parts that are missing on the pictures that will be on the
car when i sell the car.. (rubber trim around the car, chroom from the window on the back...)

Very nice! Same colour as my first (and only) Elite, bought used in 1985.

Is the paintwork as good as it looks in the photos?

Regards,

Malcolm

yes Malcolm, and i think the paint work looks in the real even better then on the pictures,
the colour is deep red.. (of course calypso red..) but on the pictures in the sun it turns over in a little bit a other colour
in the real it looks better,

and i am happy with it, i hope that i would make somebody happy with this car,

I remember the factory-fitted 'night lighting' for the centre instruments was a little pinprick spotlight mounted in the front of the rollbar. It shone down onto the centre instrument panel to illuminate it at night. Or that was the idea anyway. Mine never worked, so I only knew that from reading the handbook!

I always wondered if that was the same on all Elites, or whether later ones had backlighting.

[bauke]

i Have never seen one that was working.... (the center spot..)


are there not people out there how are interested in this great elite?
its still for sale..

[barefoot]

How much would it be fully rebuilt on a new chassis carpets leather etc?

[bauke]

Thats a good question, the new chassis is allready stripped,
because this chassis is still good enough for a M.O.T
it its not so bad at all,

so i dont think this car needs a other chassis,

this car with Black leather will cost: 7000 euro
