Description:

As a result of too many projects on the go and not enough space, I am offering this well-down-the-road restoration of a JPS 130/5S Elan Plus 2 which comes with a second 130/5S car as a donor for missing parts. I would rather sell as a complete project but may be persuaded to break up although it seems criminal to do so (individual prices below for parts - I do not want to break further than described)! The JPS car is on a new Spyder chassis and has complete suspension. There are a few things to do (rear brake caliper rebuild although they come with the car) to complete the chassis buid. The shell has been stripped and resprayed to a high standard, doors, boot & bonnet also finished to the same standard (inner sills done at the same time). It is missing an interior, glass, brightwork, radiator, dash and lights and headlamp pods (this is not an exhaustive list). That's where the donor car comes in. This is a 130/5S built around the same time (late 1973 although both were registered in 1974). It has glass, interior, which will need retrim, some possibly usable brightwork and dash. The vaccum pod for the headlamps is there but not tested. The suspension has had its day but the chassis may be savable. I will not be breaking this car for individual parts but will offer as a whole. Both cars have V5's in my name. The engine looks to have been rebuilt (borescope shows what look like new pistons) but I have no details on by who. The car is currently split between two locations (Halifax and Newark UK) but will ultimately be reunited in Halifax in the coming weeks. Were I to split, I am looking for the following;

Shell (including doors, boot and bonnet all restored) - £8,500
Complete rolling chassis with engine & gearbox, propshaft and diff - £9,500
Engine & gearbox - £7,500
Engine - £6,000
Gearbox - £2,500
Chassis, suspension, propshaft & diff - £3,000
Donor car (as is) - £3,500
Or the entire package for £18,000
