There is probably not a single Elan with its original chassis by now (including the 2 I have owned). Tell them nothing if at all possible is probably the best advice I think.
If the chassis was to original spec, reading this, it looks as if the Elans shouldn't be on Q plates.
Keep a vehicle’s original registration number.
A rebuilt vehicle can keep its original registration number if you can prove you’ve used:
[*] a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original (car or light van)
