65 Elan body

My brother has the front-engined, 1965 version of my Elise, but it has damaged right-front and left-rear corners. He wants to buy a new body for his S2, but would like to help finance it by selling the original body. Is there a market for such and, other than eBay, where would he go?

I assume you mean an Elan.

Saw this the other day:

Thanks

On behalf of my brother, thanks for the helpful info and suggestions. Unfortunately, he is not financially prepared to buy a new body now even if he sells the old one. In fact, he's been 'restoring' his Elan for the last 12 years. lotiguy, sorry that this potential serious race car body isn't going to be available for a while. I was just helping my little brother explore some possibilities.

So, he's only about half way done, right?
