What did I see? Low, no roof, front end like an Elise S2?

[MissChief]

Saw some awesome thing this morning, low slung, not much bigger than an Elise, looked like it had an Elise S2 front end but definitely wasn't one. It had a huge rear wing and was completely open top, not even a convertible. Any ideas? This was on the A71 heading towards Edinburgh. It was Red with black rollbars and rear wing.

Definitely not an Ultima. Any ideas?

Lotus 2-11?

By "completely open top" do you mean it had no windscreen?

[Daniel1]

Hennessy venom gt?

[Megaflow]

A Lotus 2 Eleven.

An S2 Elise with no windscreen, roof and a massive wing...

Edit: Damn, there was no responses when I started typing that!

[98elise]

Probably a Lotus 2-11

Edit...Doh, beaten to it....twice

[kambites]

Yeah, a 211 or a 340R.

[MissChief]

Wasn't a 2-11 or a 340r.

Or a Venom. Completely open by the looks of it although it was going the other way.

Dammit - I had just iced the champagne for my first ever PH thread win.

• sigh*

[omgus]

Renaultsport Spider? ETA, they don't have wings.

If it wasn't for the assertion that it wasn't an Ultima i would have thought that was the best bet.

[dtmpower]

Tommy Kaira ZZ ?



Renault Sport Spider ?

[RobCrezz]

Radical?

[CraigyMc]

340R?

[CraigyMc]

Are you sure?

I know of a bright red 211 with black rollcage that lives in that area

[kambites]

I've seen at least one kit car using the S2 Elise front lights. Can't remember what it was called or where I saw it, though.

[MissChief]

That's what threw me, I know of all these cars and it wasn't any of them.
