Elise Sports Racer

[mattiselvis]

One of my friends has just bought one - looks great, so great in fact that I'm tempted. She says it cost £29k with a discount applied though, which was a bit more than I expected. Is there something special about the Sports Racer model?

not totaly sure but isnt it a more basic 111R with the Lotus traction control and stripes, sporty suspension etc.

A very nice car indeed. So nice that I traded my S4s in for one in Blue.

Its a 111R with the sports and tourer packs, the custom paint scheme, and I believe the interior has unique elements too (though I suspect you've got to know your stuff to spot them). Oh, and you get a little button where you can switch off/on the traction control which I've decided to leave well alone for the moment.

Go on - you know it makes sense.

Tourer pack (more soundproofing), sports pack(slightly stiffer suspension), lightweight wheels, a hardtop plus a really tarty paint scheme. Oh and a sticker which gives you a build number out of a hundred made (100.5 if you have the blue one and count goobys) The probax seats are nice, but these are probably appearing on more of the range now I'd guess.

Oh and dont forget the white wing mirrors - especially designed to display lightweight road kill.

Thanks guys - how much is it likely to set me back? Finding the Lotus website a bit difficult to get my head around!

£30 - £33k depending on negotiation skills, time of month for the dealer and any other options you add.

Can anyone tell me where abouts the build number is for the Sport Racer?

Cheers

Mine came about a month after the car arrived, passed on to me bt the dealer with instuctions on where to put it.

If its on it should be on the side of the door sill on the drivers side next to the VIN no bar code.

In my case its in the post. Ive looked all round the a-post and cant see it. The dealer says it must be on the second class post.



Where on the car do I find the second class post?

I wonder - if we collect all the numbers how many duplicates will there be.......
