S4 Bodyshell and Bits (Australia)

PostPost by: elandoc » Thu Oct 26, 2023 10:50 am

I have a brand new, fresh out of the mould S4 body shell. This was laid up in light weight glass by a well-known boat builder as a re-shell. It needs finishing, as the lattice reinforcements aren't glassed in yet (but accompany the car), but the top and bottom halves are bonded together. It would make a great re-shell of a race car. I also have a complete interior including centre console, upholstered in cream, as well as a soft top and both tonneaus. It comes with factory doors, bonnet, boot-lid and buckets, and a Lenham hard top (new).
I also have a brand new wiring harness, I think for an S4 (all three looms).

Also available:
TC head
40mm Webers
Crank/rods/pistons (I think std/std)
Peg drive hubs and 3 eared spinners (full set)
5 speed gearbox with custom bell housing, mounting and prop shaft to suit Elan (Supra) - never used
Lenham hard top mould (S3/4)

Probably a few other bits, but can't think of anything right now.

I'm having a man-cave clean out to remodel and make room for my super-dooper lightweight project (and help fund it).

I have an idea of prices, but thought I'd put it out there to gauge interest first.

Cheers

Patrick

Hi Patric,
Could you please supply some more detail on the 5 speed gearbox.
Ratios etc.
Cheers,
Colin.

Hi Colin,
I know it's a close ratio box. It was built for tarmac rallying, and apparently the ratios were selected to suit the Elan. I've never used it. It was fitted once and driven around the block, but there was another issue with the car, and the engine had to come out, and the idiot mechanic fitted the standard 4 speed back as we were running out of time prepping for Targa.
