Excellent marketing strategy!
That aside , it could be worth looking into it. Not this side of the pond.

The Piddington Collection is thinning it's ranks, there's a bunch of ex-celebrity or famous name Elans coming up. They probably think either the bubble is about to burst or maybe it's "peak celebrity" time, whatever the reason they're getting rid of a few.  Scroll down about half way to get to the Elans.

Great collection of Elans. I think it's the best time to move these cars before John Q Public forgets who these people are.

Is there anything more appealing than Emma with her Elan?

No. No, there is not.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Sometimes the imagination is more fulfilling than reality, Jim. 

I can tell you that, having worked behind in the studio technical end of  the entertainment/broadcast field at the start of my career...what you see after the camera starts rolling bears little resemblance to the person in front who walked in the door to the studio 2 hours ago.

I’ve noticed the difference when an actor I really enjoyed in a role, gets interviewed at some other time about the show.
