Well I'd say that since it has carpets it's a sports tourer, which is just a pack for a standard elise. Any other type of Elise would have been badged

How does your insurance work then? Surely they would have said something when you took your policy out?

Put your registration number into an online insurance quote site - it should tell you the model and trim plus engine output too.

When you sell it you need to know these things!

(Could be a debadged 111S - my car's decals are peel-off)

8 spoke alloys and driving lights may point to it being a 111S

Let's face it, Lotus don't have a clear badging strategy so what chance the rest of us?

Even more of a reason to know what you're bidding on, surely?
