Ahah. Almost missed that comment, Alan!
Do you have a timescale (although that's probably a silly question)?

Hi David,
Sorry for the late reply, I need to compose a response which is a little involved and complicated, to explain my situation, just give me a little time.

It's running now with about 170 BHP and an LSD. just bodywork to do. There's about 15 to 20hours of work to do, then it's off to the painter. When this comes out of the garage I'll start on the Mk1 again.

I'm hoping it follows the Elan with regards to values. You need to be flexible to get in and out of the car.so how long I will be fit enough to do this I don't know. I'm 72 this year, but still ok.

Glad you've made progress on it Alan. I've spent a lot of time recently looking at Elise and Exige threads here and there, very tempted by one myself.
