I don't know what it is but def not Elan. The dash is wrong as is the underbonnet and no pop up headlights. They were discontinued in
'74.
Could be an interesting project though.

so It's a Sylva Stylus, a Vauxhall or a Lotus from the Mid 80's. Looks like it's unregistered
(and probably unregisterable)
It's a shed. Run, don't just walk away from this one.

It is NOT an Elan, or any thing like one
and as said, its a shed, and is really only for donor parts

An 'early lotus elan from the '80s?' WTF?
Don't think so. Although it bears quite a resemblance, the Elan was produced in the '60s, but I can't recall any that had fixed
headlights? They also produced another, much poorer one IMHO in 1990 -> '92. What does the team think? If it really is an elan, its
worth a bit more than £1.60......

It's an Elysee Sprint IIRC.
Looks like an Elan from the next county. Only pic I can find.
