FS - One sad S1 on Copart

[Tony2ta2004]

Hi Everyone,

Copart does not allow bid on it, if you're not Licensed. I tried last week.

If I only had the space in the garage! Regarding the stripe, there is an in period road test report on an S3 Elan S/E and it has the same stripe and logo but on the sill. It would be around ‘67 so I think it came from the factory that way. Then again, it is a Lotus so anything goes!

[Jerryh]

If I had the space I’d buy that and ship it to the U.K, probably cost about the same for shipping but I must resist!! Any S1 Europa’s worth saving in my opinion. I have a mate who’s Copart registered I don’t think it’s that difficult to register as he’s a private individual.

What's with the biohazard sticker? Did something die in this car?

[tedtaylor]

looks like a "Bio-Hazard" warning sticker on the windshield???     maybe there's a dead body in the trunk?   

hey, I beat you to that!!!   Pay attention!

Oops! Sorry Ted, missed yours. Still... Biohazard??

Looks like somebody is after it.  I put in an offer at the price I wanted to pay for it, and there was already a higher offer in.  Any of you guys?

Odd, I don't see any bids on the current bid field. The only problem for any California buyers is the lack of status of the title.

BIN price is $1450, auction ends tomorrow. Be curious to see who ends up with it if it sells.

It sold, but doesn’t say how much the winning bid was (or I couldn’t find it anyway).

[literarymadness]

$3200  They eliminated the buy it now the day of the auction.

  Marty! Good luck with your Europa hunt!

[Bodzer]

Hi Marty,

I know it’s not a Europa but if you want a Lotus. This looks like an absolute steal: https://palmsprings.craigslist.org/cto/d/santa-ana-1967-lotus-elan-se-coupe/6824806891.html

No connection. I just saw it on the Elan forum and would love to have it. Sadly it’s too far away.

Hope it helps.

 Marty,

I'm thinking  about selling one of my S1A projects. It is in better shape than Copart's car. I'm located up in NorCal. Pm me if you are interested.
