No problem. It is expensive though, isn't it?

A bit over my budget, but I hope he get's his price.

$400,000? That is surprising. It will be interesting to see if he gets any bids.

A significant number for sure!

Not unhappy to see the potential price on this valuable car that has some common DNA with my Elan via the Dave Vegher engine (Vegher Power). Of course, there is a huge difference in value between a 26r and my regular Elan.

The 26r race engine for this car makes 190hp (probably at a pretty high rpm) while my street engine makes 181 at 6900 (and with broad torque curve).

The Vegher engine in the 26r:
