Elan S4 on BaT -- just barely

I’m hesitant to post this here. The listing is scant on pictures and details. But I’m very interested to learn if the side stripe actually is supposed to slant upwards! It’s the only one I can find like it in a google search.

“Sprint style livery”. Not a genuine Sprint then. So what is it? Strombergs and body shape suggest S4. No, I think the SPRINT strip shouldn’t be at an angle. Looks like a right shoddy job, whoever fitted it.

The angle of the stripes is exaggerated by the angle of the photo, the top of the stripe is near the top of the wheel rim both front and rear.

Take a look at the third photo, taken at right angles, and then take a straight edge (the edge of a piece of paper) and put it against your screen in line with the stripe. Or take a ruler and measure from bottom of sill to bottom of stripe at each end of the sill.

As we would say in Blighty, “it’s on the piss”.

Here is a shot directly from the side.

Comparison with a better looking Sprint. It’s missing the gold stripe above the rear bumper and the decals have been aligned accordingly, i.e incorrectly. Bit of a shame.

VIN is 45/8590 So, its a tarted up S4, not a very good counterfeit.

I just noticed the heading - it says it’s an S4. Silly me. Anyway, I wonder if the paint line is close enough that reapplication of a straighter decal might be possible? Honestly though… it’d be better if it was not a wannabe Sprint.
