Hi,

I am currently looking for an elise, S2 preferable, to buy in the UK, but with a left handed steering wheel.
If someone can help, I would be very grateful

Cheers

Lionel

Right,

I have been looking for quite a while to buy a used elise here in France, But price is really higher compare to UK price (+30%). So I was wondering if any dealer ar private do have one for sale with the steering wheel on the left side.

Is this clear enough?

Thanks
Lionel

oh i see!

I assume you are looking for second hand, in which case there are a couple of specialist companies in England which deal in LHD (left hand drive) cars. They don't tend to be cars like Lotus, but they're worth a try.

www.lhdplace.com/

www.transeuropean.co.uk/

www.findit.co.uk/cars/lhd.php

Try looking at websites such as that. I, personally, have not seen a LHD Elise on my searches - but that's not to say they don't exist in England!

Have you tried e-mailing the factory? You may (I don't know this is a guess) find that they LHD drive cars are slightly more expensive in the first place, which is why you find them more expensive in France!?

Have you considered buying a RHD (right hand drive) car and driving it in France? Plenty of people have LHD cars in England and it's not a problem (things like American imports, limited run Ferraris etc)

Good luck!
