Hi listers:

I just signed on to the list today.  My interest stems from a possible
opportunity for me to buy a '64 elan S1.  it's been sitting in a hanger for
10 years,  the transmission is reportedly in the trunk (trunk was locked - no
key) dash is missing, seats are ther but not mounted (laying upside down
inside the locked cockpit) hardtop in somehat deteriorated, but probably
restorable condition, front bumper missing,etc.  What would something like
this be worth?  .  The guy who had it bought it new in '64, put over 200M
miles on it and began tearing it down to restore it.  Then he stored it for a
retirement project.  Unfortunately he died last year and his wife, ( a friend
of mine) wants to get rid iof it.  She says she has boxes full of  parts, but
I haven't seen them yet.  I would do much of the restoration myself, but I'm
not sure what the availability of parts is.  I figured this is the place to
get some advice/answers

Thanks in advance
John O'Brien
