Elan Sprint DHC 1972 for sale Deposit taken SOLD

My 1972 Genuine Elan Sprint has to go to make way for a Plus 2, I have owned this car for over 20 years having bought it from the first owner. I have a great deal of history including the original seevice record and many old MOT's which all indicates that the 75000 mileage is accurate. Mechanically it is very sound, the engine being rebuilt 20k miles ago with new QED pistons and replacing parts as necessary, it was fully balanced  and still has excellent oil  presure and is beautifully smooth. Interior is all original and in fine condition, the hood was replaced many years ago but as I hardly ever use it its still in excellent condition.  a full tonneau comes with it. The Chassis is original and has been regularly Waxoled to keep the dreaded rust at bay , although it has never been driven on salty roads in my ownership. I have fitted electronic ignition and also solid Sue Miller driveshafts to enhance the reliabilty. It was resprayed shortly after I bought it and although looks good from a couple of yards there is some micro blistering and it would benefit from a respray. This  is a bit of a rarity being a two owner very genuine car and surely worth the the price I am asking.

I can't really claim any credit for it as it was the previous owner that went through the car to make it what it is.
