Seller's comments about 1970' Lotus Elan

I'm having to sell due to my wife's ill health. I bought it from a friend who had owned it for nearly 30 years, he rebuilt it and fitted a galvanised chassis. Following a small fire it had a windows out back to gel coat respray (I have printed photos but lost digital copies when my mobile phone drowned in a lake); all new window rubbers; brightwork re-chromed; wheels refurbished; 5 new tyres. Then thousands more was spent with Paul Matty to recommission it including new sills; petrol tank; radiator and the carbs were rebuilt again. New stainless steel back box and lots more. I have receipts for what I spent. Mot to 1st August 2022. Engine pulls strong but running rich and could do with a tune up. It drives well and gearbox is a joy. My plan was to renew the electrics, get the heater working and clean up the interior. So there's not much left to finish and the expensive work has been done. I'm open to genuine offers from serious enthusiasts
