I was just out sanding on the clear coat tonight, fired it up for a while to listen to it, need to put some front brakes on it and start driving it, can't wait, it was a barn find that found me. I cleaned it with a little soap and water the other day, the water was so black. It came with the original wheels, I like them better than the 10 spoke wheels that are on it, although they might make good track wheels. They only imported about 500 of these into the US.
She didn't like it at first glance, her fav car is a black one like the XF, but it was too firm a ride for her, I'm not sure how stiff the Elan is but probably similar, good thing it's convertible season in Florida now. Not a lot of work compared to some of my projects, time seems to fly when I'm in the garage working on a project, won't take long to have this one on the road. These turbos seem to be pretty quick cars, maybe like a SRT6 XF.
