Project 1983 Elford for sale on EBay.
A pile of smashed up rusty metal with a starting price of £795
Might be some useable spares and the rear Elford spoiler looks intact.
Happy bidding :lol:

the spoiler looks pretty smashed up to me. Not sure there's anything good on it at all.

A really sad turn around for that car :cry: 2009 doesn't seem that long ago... No wait! I'm just getting old.
