The Lotus Elise is an ultra-lightweight sports car. It adheres to company founder Colin Chapman's four basic automotive design philosophies: It is lightweight for better performance; it is fun to drive; it provides a comfortable ride and exceptional handling; it is innovative. The first new Lotus for America since the ill-fated Elan debuted in 1990, the Elise first went on sale in Europe in 1996 becoming the best-selling car in company history and creating waiting lists of up to one year to buy what the European motoring press has labeled the best handling car in the world. Ever since, American Lotus fans have patiently awaited the car's availability in the U.S. Weight saving is critical to the Lotus Elise's performance. The first car in history to employ a bonded and extruded aluminum chassis, the Lotus Elise's foundation weighs just 150 pounds. I am helping sell this vehicle for my boss. It has been fleet maintained and is in nice condition. The car does have a Rebuilt Title and I want that to be known up front. It was a front end collision that damaged the entire front clip, radiators, fans, etc. This is an older rebuild but the car has held up well. There are some stress cracks around one of the parking lights on the front and there is a "bullet hole" as we like to call it in the rear quarter panel that was filled in but not painted. All of this can be seen in the pictures attached. The clutch, transmission, and engine all operate as they should. There are a couple lights on the dash. One for the airbags which I dont know why and one for the check engine as I think it was for on o2 sensor. Whatever it is there is nothing of consquence as the car runs great just the way it sits. The Targa soft top is in good condition. I think the only flaw is the seal on the drivers side rail is loose towards the back. I do believe we have a green hard top as well in storage but I do not know the condition of it. Im not interested in making a killing on this car but I would like to get fair money for it. So please submit your best offers. Also, willing to entertain some trades for higher end cars.
