Having decided that 2025 will be my last year of racing, I will see out the rest of the year with my Type 14 Elite - hence the Elan is now for sale. Once it sells I will be less likely to change my mind about retiring!
It is absolutely ready to race with a whole variety of race opportunities out there both in the UK and overseas.
A very competitive car in the right hands
