Elise variants with Big miles

[foz01]

How do elises cope with big miles, ie 100k+ I know they eat consumables but is there issues with the chassis flexing and or the bonding becoming unstable?

Presumably any engine changed cars will have suffered greater stresses on the chassis- anyone aware of any problems on older higher mileage cars, or is it if the consumables are repaced then they will go on forever

Cheers

just fine - the Lotus demo car has over 200K miles on it and theres quite a few people on SELOC with +100K miles

mine is a 2002 with 80K on it - although Lotus originally specced and simulated ageing on the chassis glue at 8 years it appears to be holding up much better than that with no reported failures so far

I've not heard of any chassis issues. To be honest the thing falling apart was the last thing I thought about after all aircraft are glued aluminium!
Bogie, I thought Lotus did accelerated aging for 25 years on the chassis?
