I had a question from a member of LotusTalk about the condition of the car - My reply is probably helpful to other bidders - To put a finer point on it, f someone feels it's not exactly as described, 'll relist and life will go on. Thank you for your interest! Hello Exigegus- The car is absolutely pristine rear of the A-pillar. I am OCD when it comes to neatness - Of course, t's a California car and had never seen weather and rarely driven in the wet (with the exception of the track event...). It was in a heated garage in the mountains until we moved to the city this June (of 2015). It is on the trailer being sold, nd covered, n a storage facility - No room or shop with lift at our new city home. There are a ton of photos on Flickr, lthough few of the interior and engine bay. I may run out to the storage place to snap photos. The instrument cluster and steering rack/wheel has been removed to facilitate the rebuild. In any case, t's absolutely spotless/pristine as one might expect of a 4,660 mile California car that's owned by someone with severe compulsions about such things. Best, John

It was not explicitly stated, ut the some of the other stuff I have includes:Enough correct/undamaged A-arms and brake kits to complete the original vehicle (with the option to install the race-oriented adjustable A-arms/wishbones and front/rear brake kits).
The spare chassis was a roller w/o shocks or any interior. race-type shifter, acing brake reservoirs to support bias adjustment, emovable racing steering wheel, ompetition bushings, tc. As said, our standard alloy wheels with unusable heavily damaged rolling tires are included. The chassis was stripped of all of the rolling bits/suspension and it must be transported on a flat trailer (I used a Harbor Freight 4'x8' trailer. It's only a few hundred pounds and is an easy lift for a few guys).
The spare motor is complete/original, owever these is no ECU. I have a replacement radiator and ACcondenser and a set of electric fans(all were pulls from another Elise and all are used, ut intact, ndready to be reused). I have enough replacement headlamp assemblies to restore the original car (but no driving lights - should still be available as a service kit/accessory). The chassis comes with one sill/rocker attached and I have another. I also have a separate set of doors/skins (but no glass, tc - all of that was stripped from the race chassis...).
What's NOT obviously there for completion: A front clam and some of the fiddly bits/fasteners for clam. The right-front forged factory wheel should probably be replaced, ut the mounted tire never broke the bead. I have major sections of the front clam that we not damaged and have been trimmed if someone wanted to have a go at patching it up (I figured I'd just buy a new front clam and/or go with one of the fiber carbon replacements that had been available in the past.) In short, retty much all the pieces are there with the exception of the front clam. While I did get a replacement oil cooler (there were two in this model), was going to remove them and use the oil-to-cooling system inline cooler and lose the weight of all of the oil tubing (and its heat through the sills!) associated with the front-mounted oil coolers. THIS IS A REASONABLE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT'S STILL NEEDED - IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE. I offer this up to improve your awareness of what you might be taking on if you take this lot of parts home.
In short: You have a ton of parts to make substantial progress towards completion of the restoration project and you have enough left over to get well more than 1/2 way to building a track toy (or you have spares for some really aggressive use of the completed vehicle!). Of course, ou'll have a stout trailer to use or sell as it suits you.
