Does anyone know this car?

[Tyrant]

I'm going to view it tomorrow with the intention of purchasing if all checks out. Is anyone familiar with this particular elise? Thanks for any help you can offer, J.

hmmm, I'm not positive but I think it's a series 1 Lotus Elise.

HTH!

[cej]

heh yeah that would be my guess as well

Most helpful guys, thanks!
I'll assume its not a car known to the forums, which could be a good thing. If I do buy it don't then tell me it was once smashed into bits!

Well it's certainly not smashed to bits now - looks great.

If it was smashed to bits, an hpi check will tell you, make sure you get one done.
Looking like a minter (which it does) is only a part of the story.
If you can, get it checked by a pro too.

Not necessarily.

If a car has been damaged and it has not gone through the insurance company, then there will be no record of any car being crashed.

If its crashed when not insured and / or repairs are carried out out of someones own pocket, then no HPI report will ever know...

I've been bitten myself years ago...

Well I picked her up today, 6 and a half hour trip each way but worth it!
