Tom, just buy that Élan and send it to Jay with a blank check against an account with a nice seven figure balance.

I don't have that kind of money. I'd just fix it and use it stock except for practical mods that improve reliability or speed. I doubt I'd want to make it too nice cosmetically. I'd want it dead reliable though (well, as much as is possible with an old Lotus.)
