Race M/S Lotus Elise For sale

George · 31 May 2007 22:12

No matter how much I want to keep my Elise, sometimes things in life donï¿½t come up as you wish. My plans about what I will do in Greece have changed dramatically.

Generally speaking, the car is extremely fast around the track.

Please, donï¿½t ask me for a price, but just make me an offer for the package (Elise-Saab-Trailer). Donï¿½t worry if your offer is too low, I wont be offended!

Bit of a vid as well

- YouTube.

Hope you donï¿½t mind ; the car really does look like a special bit of kit, spec sounds pretty damn awesome as well.

Thanks David.
The car works well; i am afraid i can’t say the same thing about my hands!

presumably this is not road legal?

stevegreen · 1 June 2007 11:08

presumably this is not road legal?

From above:

"Road Registered with V5 and easily road legal (CAT included) "

George · 1 June 2007 11:26

No it is not as i have never bothered MOT it. I might do it in the next few days, though

Forgotten to mention that many Yokohama A048s included, plus a set of rain tyres. The car will be with brand new A048s (fitted today and will be used for a few laps in the wet Silverstone on Sunday) on its rims.

Where abouts in the country are you?

Could you conceivably put this to RHD and put a passenger seat in there?

Cheers

George · 1 June 2007 22:20

Hi,
I am in Huddersfield.
Yes, you can easily convert it to LHD or RHD. But why would you ever buy a central seating one if you want a RHD?
Cheers,
George
