Red Elford for sale on Gumtree located in Weymouth.
It looks pretty good but asking £18k and it has done 155k miles.
Presumably has had an engine rebuild, but a lot of money

This looked like a decent example. I followed some of the auction and the latest bid i saw about an hour before the auction end was about £8.5k but I don't know what it went for

Hi all. Is there any signs of the owner for the Elford Turbo C391YFX on here ? I’m trying to get ahold of them via collecting cars but the company isn’t very forthcoming

Thanks

Thank you Ian.

I managed to get ahold of the seller.
He originally had a reserve on the auction of £15000 which wasn’t reached at the time.
I offered him that much and he now wants £30000!

Not for me unfortunately but I wish him good luck

Thanks all
