On a related note, Elan Plus 2's seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately. There's currently three on e-Bay.

Needs "a little" work by the looks of it, aka committed enthusiasts/nutters only...

There's gotta be at least $700 in parts there.

It'd be cool to see how cheaply you could get it back on the road. Maybe cobble it back together with a Toyota 4AGE...

Wishful thinking? It turns out awesome in my head .

That back seat would be an amazing chair for the living room.

Call me a nutter, but if I had a cheap method to get it to Alabama, I would buy it. Any volunteers?

I like those. Back seat for the dog to ride in. There's one in Kiwiland with a 1uzfe in it.

It looks like the top of the line Gremlin. Between that and the Shrunken El Camino looking one did lotus have a styling department in the 70's?

Stand back, Hess is about to tell you that the Esprit is the most beautiful car ever built...
