Its a early one, number 63 I think, Cathedral headlights, plastic cover over rear number plate. Oh.. and on the roof on each side are stitch in are two Lotus badges and so I've been told it was done at the factory because its the same stitching as is on the roof. The last owner was a big Lotus fan and she owned this one for 10 years(a lovely lady)and the only reason she was selling was so she could go abroad for a hip operation. Full leather, totally standard right down to the original radio and a massive folder of service history.

Thank you chaps... I've missed owning one of these little cars. As much as I loved the Elise the Elan is so much more of a all rounder. Dave, perfect start to the new year. Hope we can KANE :D a few more teams like that..... :cheers:
