Finding Info On Elan S1
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2004 12:03 pm
Hello,
I'm new to the group and was very happy to stumble across this forum. I read through the previous posts and was very happy to find so much useful information on the Elan.
I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction of finding out more information about an older Elan S1. I am seriously considering buying a 1964 Elan S1 (my first) from a gentleman in New York, but I haven't been able to track down much info/history on this specific car. He gave me what he thought was the chassis number from the engine compartment (G11N 026/3884,)and I was hoping that someone here could (1) tell me if it is the correct format for the chassis number and (2) If this number will be able to tell me anything significant about the car.
One other concern I have is that he said the car has been sitting for around 30 years and he has no paper work (including title). Has anyone had experience buying a car in one state (in this case New York) and titling it in another (in this case Michigan) with no original title or registration - only a bill of sale.
Thanks for your assistance,
Nick
