Can be made an Elite with minimal effort.

Not sure I'd class replacing the cabin loom as "minimal effort" ;D

It will have everything in it. The relay harnessfor rear seat heating is plug and play. Likewise the front seats. If it has leather, it's already halfway there. Xenon's are another easy retrofit. And I am pretty sure that the wheels are bolt on >:D

S /L rear suspension, Bose , rear blind, self dimming mirror, headlight levelling, Satnav.........
I did most of it to my old CD spec 2.5, but to do the whole job is not something I would call minimal.

Plus, you really need an Elite donor car to swap all the bits from.

Much of it is plug and play, but it's something that was/is perfectly doable. The only thing I didn't fit to my plod estate was Bose, but there are better options available now... oh and the sunroof, but deleting that was probably an NCO from new.

The real question is whether it would be worth doing to a car needing other work.

Cabin loom is quite different. Doable, mostly, but not trivial.

I believe the FL dash loom is different from memory as well.  That would make it nigh on impossible, even once the dash is out.

Dash loom difference is limited to the radio. Even plod estates had the wiring for rear blind and boot release on the dash along with roof wiring for sunroof and mirror. ;)

That said there are potential differences between earl and late facelift harness connectors. The mirror being a case in point.

It's a moot point now as getting all the bits together would be the biggest challenge, even if it was worth the time.

The actual point being not to make it an 'Elite' (a CD would never be an 'Elite' on paper - even if it was actually feasible / worth the effort with a CD), but had it been an Elite to be a source of certain parts....
