Anyone got an "Atlantic Blue" Elise?

[Trixster]

Hi, other than my own I've only caught a fleeting glimpse of one other Atlantic Blue Elise. There must be a few more out there so where are they all hiding?!

Cheerio

Mine's AtlantiS Blue. Is there an AtlantiC blue?

[DucatiGary]

cant help with the blue sorry but ive got a silver one, its for sale in the classifieds as it happens.

[Trixster]

ha, good thread hi-jack! Deffo Atlantic blue - I believe it was introduced with the Millennium Edition on the Elise S.

Millenium is definately Atlantis..and it's not the same colour as in the pic. It's much darker.

Is that not Magnetic Blue

I have just sold my Atlantic Blue Elise. As a result i am now in a deep state of depression. If only I could afford a second car I would have never had let go of it.

[Trixster]

Nope, Atlantic Blue, colour code B73. Touch up paint from B&C is 'Atlantic blue' and matches the car exactly. In certain lights it look blue, in other light it almost looks purple!

Yep (forgive the swearing) but Iraq was a whole bag of wank! 50degrees, litter and rubbish everywhere, poverty and deprivation clearly evident as soon as you left the base, mortars every day of the week, little time off, nothing to do except prat about on the 'net and watch dvds and talk to the odd aircraft. Saved loads of cash though

Just like this...

Ah ok, sorry S2 wasn't involved in Millennium edition but have a look at this: http://www.elises.co.uk/models/millenium/index.htm...

Atlantic Blue was made for about 12mths circa 2003 prior to being replaced with the slightly lighter Magnetic Blue

Atlantic blue is definitely different to Atlatis blue pearl.......noodleman is right cos he has the same car I had. Totally different colour. Atlantis Blue Pearl is on the Millenium Edition S1 only...........very few made, very rare....

lol, I do love Lotus, seems very much a case of, "oh crap, we've only got these colours left, oh well, we'll just give it a new name" and here we are with 30 different shades of each colour.

[RobM77]

I really like Atlantic Blue It's just the right shade for me. Magnetic Blue is a bit light I think and Midnight Blue too dark. Just personal preference mind you!

Ditto on that, I like Mag blue, but it is just a bit too light.
