I'm drawn more towards the 1962 Elva Mark IV

So many nice cars it is hard to pick just one. I bet most will go over market.

P.S.

Very disappointed that there are no photos of the engines and drive trains (underside) for the majority of the cars. Also, cars that are stated as running when stored were not brought up to at least start and idle condition.

Quite a few nice cars and stuff in the auction. Planning to go out there on May 16 to check it out. 

[Jbrueckh]

Me too. Nice collection of cars and stuff. 

[MoBoost]

A reasonable price.

[Jbrueckh]

Sure was a great price and a nice car too. Several Lotus and Seven owners  there today and nice talking to them and comparing notes. The wobbly webs went cheap at $125 each as did the other seven bits.

The S4 Elan went for $20,300. It looks utterly pristine! 

[MoBoost]

The Elan was in non-running condition. The air box was missing; it may have been in the boot or elsewhere. 
Frame was orange, so it may have had a Spyder chassis?

[Jbrueckh]

As most of the cars , they needed some sorting (or in some cases full strip and rebuild) to make usable. The seven even had some loose suspension fasteners.

[wdb]

Pictures show the airbox in the 'boot'. Original Lotus frames are a kind of 'red lead' color. I didn't see any frame pictures so I can't say for sure.

[Jbrueckh]

I looked under the Elan to check out the frame and see if Doctor Brown had converted to CV’s. It looked original to me and still was on rotoflex couplings. 
 

There were 4 Seven owners there, s2x3 and a s4, which was a nice opportunity to network and plan some parts swapping.
