The prices in the $30k range are asking prices.  Also they are for 5/6
level cars.  In the UK the prices were higher than that but are coming down
now due to over supply.  Lots of our cars going over there (:-(.

One of the guys in our local Lotus club just bought an Elan S2 fixed head
for $16,500.  The car is in 3/4 shape.  Body good and he drove it to
Portland from Barbour Brothers (San Fran I think) the day he picked it up.
Now if Europa prices would just get to that level ... no forget it I don't
want to sell!
