Whatever it is, it's superbly built and looks fantastic.

It'd be better if it was registered legally...

"the log book has her registered as a 1967 Lotus Elan"

Shame.

Ohhh no it's not, it's an Elan!

Look out it BEHIND YOU!, BEHIND YOU !!

It isnt an Elan neither, as he says, no Elan parts !

RINGER ! ! !

An original Elan lost it's ID so someone could register this without SVA/IVA ?

I'd feel like a right knobber driving that. I do quite like it though, but the cycle wings and lights ruin it and theyre essential for the road.

And the wheels were obviously robbed from Noddy's car.

I think they are the original (or replica) Lotus 'wobbly wheels'

The wheels are strange as they appear to be spinning even while static

Or is it my eyes ??

You want to be careful! The owner has been hawking this thing round the internet for some time, trying to establish a 'provenance' for it, and gets very upset when anyone challenges its authenticity:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=198&t=864530&mid=28488&nmt=build your own single seater book (Haynes)

If he ever discovers this thread, you might find yourself threatened with a 'visit'!

IIRC, I think it's registered as a 1967 Europa rather than an Elan on the DVLA database... and it's listed as having a 200cc engine!
