A "Lotus Elan Sprint"---you lucky b---r! I used to work on these cars as a young mechanic (late '60s)---still regard them as one the very best small sports cars EVER. Unbelievably, they are still used as the bench-mark for any new sports-car.
The early 'Mazda 5' sports cars were basically an Elan built by a company that could churn them out in their 1000s---they looked amazingly similar, even to having 'pop-up' head-lamps---but the Elan is STILL the best.
When i was looking for a retirement project in 2012, a good Elan could still be bought for about £8,000 (which I could have JUST afforded)---now? you won't get an 'even sensible' Elan for under £20,000! Even the '+2' variants, which in some ways are a nicer drive, and for a long time stayed at sensible prices, are going up towards the £20,000 mark.
In the 500 and the Elan you have just about the perfect pairing---the (still!) best little city car, ever and the (still!) finest small sports car--again, ever.
