Well, uhhh, you don't pay very close attention now, do you?
Charlie Cave offered his Elan fer sale, I believe it was about a
year and a half ago, for 15 large. I'd say that's an SP prepared
one, wouldn't you?

Scotty, if you want an Elan I can find you a primo one for under
$20k. SP prep might add another 7-10k if you gold-plate
everything and pay somebody else to do all the work. That's WAY
less than a fully prepped 911 or RX7tt. In fact, the Elan is a
real bargain by comparison.

If "the average racer" can't read classifieds, it might be hard
for him/her to find an Elan. Otherwise, no sweat.
