A friend of my mother's mentioned to her that they're about to move house and need to get shut of an unfinished project. Initially I heard it was a 1973 Lotus Elan and pricked up my ears accordingly. My mother has just phoned again to say she's spoken to them and that it's an _Elite_ and N reg ('74?) at which point I lost interest somewhat. What puzzles me is that she's sure they said it's a V8, which don't sound right to me! Unless someone has replaced the expensive to fix Lotus engine with a Rover V8. Do they fit?
Further garbled details, any of which could be wrong are that the car is in the Manchester area with nettles growing all around it and that they're thinking of asking 500 quid or so. I suggested they stick it on Ebay, where an Elite with 6 months MOT is currently struggling at 800 quid to reach its reserve.
If anyone's daft enough to want to know more, I can probably find out.
