New Owner Elite 3.0i 24V Automatic
« on: 05 July 2012, 05:34:03 »
Just bought this car yesterday for my wife.  This 1997 Elite has covered 56,000 miles from new with FSH (15 stamps in the book).  2 former owners, the first had the car for 2 years, the second for 13 years.  The car is immaculate apart from some stone chips at the front and minor rust to the rear wheel arch lips.  All the paintwork is original, amazing for a 15 year old.  Even the edges of the doors are chip free.  No kerbing at all on the alloys.  Tyres are Pirelli P7's.  The spare has never been used, fitted with a Michelin.  The car has obviously been cherished.

In the last pic, it looks like you have yourself a very rare and expensive Irmscher steering wheel.  A very nice find!  :y

Pretty sure the 3.0i and 24v badges are from a Carlton or Senator, and would not have been standard.  :y

Yes the boot would have had only the VX badge and the Elite. Identical to mine.

Really good condition for its age so a great find .

Interesting comment about the steering wheel.  It is certainly comfortable to use.

You chaps know more about these cars than me.  I had assumed the badges were standard.  On my wife's last car I took the badges off the boot  :)
