I am putting up my Elans for sale, I hope people don’t mind the fact that 1 is an M100 but somebody might know someone who wants one genuine reason for sale.
So they are,
1970 Elan DHC S4SE 28000 miles Lagoon Blue Minilite wheels lots of work carried out.
1994 Elan M100 14500 miles Norfolk Mustard Yellow standard car.
2012 built Elan race car Honda Fireblade engine space frame chassis Team Dynamics wheels Avon slicks plus spares.
Cars are not getting the use they deserve and I am not getting any younger.
Please PM here if you have a genuine enquiry, I will sort out more details and photo’s as requested, please no time wasters.
Hi Doug, time waster here, is there a build log of the Honda powered Elan?
That sounds like a really cool, unusual project! I’ll bet it goes like hell.
Perfectly fine. I would also like to understand how you completed the drivetrain with the FireBlade. I have always thought the Hayabusa engine swaps are interesting. The Hayabusa into a MX-5: motoiq.com/project-miatabusa-pa … -thinking/
Hi Jeff,
The drive train on my car is that the bike rear drive sprocket was removed, engine turned through 90 deg so the now drive flange points rearward. The engine is is central in the car so the flange is to the RHS (drivers side in GB) it has a dog leg drive shaft to a Sierra 3.6 diff with a Quaife ATB fitted.
Does that make sense ?
The rear suspension is double wishbone with pushrod operated dampers mounted above the diff.
I’ll post up a couple more photos if you are interested.
I’m in America, so too far away to buy your car. But please tell us what that bike-powered Elan is like to drive. Maybe even post a youtube video if you can. I’m intrigued.
Your old S3 is now beautifully finished & on the road … care of expert hands Andy B` … will have to get you a picture !
As for Dougie`s Race Project … it also has a few grands worth of spares … including another Fireblade Engine , a brand new set of Black Wheels with new tyres … even the covered trailer has an excellent awning , lighting , storage cupboard & expensive electric winch !
The engine also sounds fantastic … & I was amazed at its flappy paddles , digital dash & general standard of workmanship .... & I know its a “special” … but at ?15k all in ( elan.net price ) … I think it could appear too cheap on the open market !?!
Maybe he should price it higher , to allow some wiggle room … & reflect it`s quality ?
