1991 Lotus Elan SE Turbo Convertible British Racing Green + Green Softtop Huge File of History + More Full Stainless Exhaust System Lotus Owners Club Car 12 Months MoT 82,000 Miles The M100 Elan Turbo SE Front wheel drive turbo power delivered via a robust Isuzu powerplant and a slick 5 speed manual gearbox. The 160 bhp headline figure in reality offers more power and thrills than you first imagine as the car weighs less than 1000kg. The results of this high power to weight ratio and clever chassis design are super fast cross country ability and possibly the best front wheel driving experience I have ever had, its so precise and balanced that finding the limit is well beyond most drivers skill set. The Turbo is the only one to have offering rather a lot of mid range shove that does not die out like may small turbo cars and actually keeps going all the way up the rev range, an intoxicating drive. Chassis SCC100ZT1MHD16488 Engine 960476 First Registered 03.01.1991 MoT June 2020 Condition Previous keeper for 13 years and kept garaged and clean with no expense spared. Very bright and clean paintwork with original Lotus alloys on matching Pirelli tyres. The whole car is factory original and all the better for it. In good working order with respect to all electrics, switchgear, and the numerous gauges around the dashboard. Its 100 % HPi clear with a clean underside and never been involved in any bumps or had any welding. Matching green softop is in superb unmarked condition with a clear see-through screen. A huge file of history accompanies with all the old MoT, lots of tax discs, original sales brochures and price lists, 2 sets of keys, over a dozen Lotus owners club magazines and all bills and invoices for service works and maintenance. A huge amount of information and far too much to even begin to list here. The drive is superb and it wants for nothing. Summary These cars with decent low mileages are great investments with values climbing month on month. They offer a real performance drop top experience and a touch of exotica that you will never feel in a similar BMW or Mazda. This coupled with relatively low production numbers should ensure this to be a clever investment if properly stored and valeted, for the money nothing else will really touch it. The stainless steel exhaust system is a quality item that brings the quiet engine to life. This along with an engine remap push the power up to around 215bhp at least, a much faster car than other models I have driven.
