Market commentary

Here is an fine automobile that can be shown, entered in vintage tours or rallys. Rare enough to make seeing another Elite coming in the other direction an unlikely event. Despite their legendary unreliability most Elites have had their demons exorcised by now and are pretty decent drivers. At this price, it better be.
