I thought someone had posted the link to the Elswick Envoy on E-bay but for the life of me can't find it, no matter.
Car went for just under £600, probably about the right money for it, i would have bid if it hadn't been right at the bottom of the country.
So what's everyones thoughts on the Elswick Envoy (trying not to stir a hornets nest).

An interesting one as its not totally an IC, nor a Microcar based vehicle. Its more like a converted car that comes in after the IC but is a specific design, not a conversion. So it does not look like a Metro hot dog van, for instance. So once folk get passed the stigma of illness and being disabled, what a bargain. A well known designer, low volume, special car for peanuts. If it were a normal drive Mini derivative they would be well sought after. If I did not have so many cars I would be tempted myself. Minor uprating and for £1,500 you have a really handy cheap classic to run around in.
Why has Stuart not got something like this in which to put his Peel and drive to the Isle of Man, or where ever?

As far as I know Chris Thomas's one is still for sale.

I was very tempted.
Would always try to help you out if a car is local (ish) to Suffolk Scott.

Hi Bob, yes Chris still has his Elswick for sale.
Cheers Barry, it did cross my mid to ask if anyone was in the area that could pick the car up and store for me but it was late on Sunday before i thought of it. Never mind hope something nearer to me comes up through time, i think the £500-£600 i s the going rate for them, so will keep my eyes peeled.
