The elan part is easy - they don't exist. :D The LX replaced the elan version in 87

Basically the LX is a higher-optioned version of the base model. It has more sound deadening, thicker carpet, nicer interior cloths, and perhaps the high-level door panels. Mechanically the cars are the same

ok I talked to the guy with the car and he said it has 2 headlights which means its an 87-88 and he also said it says elan on the car. so appearently someone added the badges  at some point Im guessing.
I also found out it has the TC seats and door panels with a slight difference instead of cloth at the top of the door panel its leather. As well as it has the full digital dash in it. Im not sure as to what other differences there are in it without seeing it.

He doesn't know his head from his asshole. Four-eyes are 83-86, so it is an Elan, just not an 87-88.
