- Let's reveal the secret car that's been hiding under a cover at The Shmuseum. What is it, well let's find out! You can get 20% OFF Vincero Collective PLUS free shipping using the promo code 'SHMEE150' at vincerocollecti... #vincerocollectivepod
We've been teasing a car that has arrived at @TheShmuseum although not belonging to @Shmee150, something that's actually really very, very special. It's now time to pull back those covers but first, let's head to Godleman's to collect the Clio V6 from a few fixes, update on the first fix electrics for the mezzanine build, share a few new goodies, and ultimately see this car.
It is in fact a Lotus Elise S1 Sport 190, a very rare car of which only 31 were made, and finished in a full exposed carbon fibre body. Wearing the plate F1RST, it's actually the first car of our friend who owns F1NAL; the last Elise Cup 250 Final Edition - and a truly special pair all things considered. These cars were originally officially track only but could be registered through the UK IVA process and despite it being a Lotus Elise and the oldest car in the garage, it's the only one with a full exposed carbon body!

Thanks for watching!
I cannot wait to take this out for a drive! What a cool car to be resident at The Shmuseum
LOTUS EMIRA OR MCLAREN ARTURA
Maybe Alpine A110 S
This is the main channel, right?Great success
we still need a rev off now that the 500 is there. between the v8s and then do a poll but also do a rev off with everything eventually have james rev the Mercedes .
I did not see that coming lol
Tim on his own Clio: "don't rev it on a cold start!"
Tim on his friend's Lotus; *revs it on a cold start* lol
"Don't rev it from cold".... I always appreciate your mechanical sympathy Tim, I love that you appreciate your cars mechanically as well.
Very much appreciate it from Tim
It was so funny to watch Tom run to the clio to try and drive it home
Overly cautious if u ask me. The warm engine thing is a myth....see engineering explained...
@trai jones That's not what we're talking about, you shouldn't rev an engine when it's just started, you should drive it moderately until it gets up to temp. We're not talking about warming it up until it's hot. I know the video you're talking about, it has nothing to do with this.
Yeah and then he revs the cold Elise himself. The amount of RPM sounded about the same. Nice consistency?
That Lotus is sweet! Does that mean you're the custodian of 2 very special Lotuses? Can't wait for the Emira to come, gotta take all 3 out for a spin when that happens!
I love how much the shmuseum is coming together
Thanks!
At the moment it still feels like a garage instead of a museum
I would love more than anything to see a proper Shmee losing his shit moment because he’s just so polite on camera that him losing it on someone would be either hilarious or frightening 😂.
I’d say he is quiet bossy and stuff can be only done his way !! Get that vibe from his videos
A perfectionist type
Agreed. Little man syndrome. Comes across as a bit of a knob at times. He does spoil this channel somewhat.
@@Blade1310 ye I prefer stradman and dde because he comes across sometimes very posh and boring and strict about his cars , I get he is the godfather of all this but I think he hasn’t moved on with crowd
Noticed in a few recent videos on the channel, seems to be a bit of a tone in his voice with comments to Tom and Brad on camera, like he’s making a point.
Do love the channel but him being away as much as he is this year has slowed progress in the shmuseum a lot - the guys are capable clearly of a lot more but get impression from that shmee is a bit of a control freak.
Have a look at coilover air cups. They go on top of coilovers so you can raise the car for bumps. Like what modern supercars have. but simpler and cheaper
I love that the Transit van has like 8 cup holders and Tim puts his drink in the one compartment that isn't one, lol
Getting in and out of an older Lotus is mostly practise.
Best advice is to step through the car. Just don't hang on any of the uprights (the window pillars or the soft top rails) as you can distort them. Also, try and avoid sitting on the sills.
You can either slide one leg in and forward whilst lowering yourself into the seat and then bring the other leg in or else try a crouch like you were pooping in the woods to get your bum into the seat and then bringing both legs around together over the sill.
Getting in isn't the tricky bit though. Try going on a long road trip in an early Elise and then getting out in a dignified manner... that's next-level stuff.
Love all the new things you have gotten in at the museum
I had the mark 1 Elise with a removable steering wheel which made entry much easier but unfortunately it eventually felt loose when connected and I had to have a fixed one fitted. The reason Tim could not start the car was because he did not disable the immobiliser which had to be done every time the car was switched off. Great car for a Sunday morning drive
I like to think you are the 'Custodians' of the visiting cars in the collection.
Put the Eiffel Tower with the slot car track.
mystery car content >>>>
🤝
On the V6, I am not a big fan of aftermarket radio but you should be able to change the color of the lights on the radio so they are the same color of the dash lights on the V6.
I should’ve commented, I thought it was an Elise S1 in the last video, I just didn’t realise how special it is! 🤩
A focus ST swapped transit connect just got sold on doug demuros cars and bids. It was so well done
Does Tim have a twin he is in Dubai now UK and a new video in Miami does the man ever relax and have a day off, I’m not complaining I love all the content just worried for him he never stops
My Son and Myself are currently just over 2/3's building the Lego Titanic. At over 9k pcs its been a mega build.Lego is awesome
You need to change the placement of some of the blue cars, they seemed to have find each other
Finally we know where the M8 went!
🤣
This comment wins the day!!
Lego Eiffel tower should be the centerpiece of the slot car track.
Question? Next year big Nurburging trip with all the new cars? Ford gt500, clio v6, zenvo, lotus and any other new arrivals?
Tim telling off Tom lol love it you go Tim!!
the Tvr and the FIRST lotus together look awesome
Have you considered to put a KW HLS-module on the Clio V6 to get over speed bumps?
My only problem with that shape Clio is the wipers being the wrong way round. Other than that, I would love a V6 or even the 182
Those Lotus' are very cool! And soon there'll be 3!
When is the Zenvo arriving?
man I love the content you guys are putting out :D Always a pleasure to watch.
Entertaining vid…nice to see Tim acting a bit silly…very funny
That, FIRST & FINAL, is EPIC!!
Some lovely classics taking residence in the Shmuseum ❤ Where has the TVR come from I’ve missed the video
Very cool Lotus. And the fun guys are back together. 👍👍👍👍
Another great video Tim, good to see the progress inside. By the way that wasn't the electrician's real ladder, that left years ago. It was his step-ladder 😂 . Regards, Bob M. South Wales
I didn’t know there’s a lego Eiffel Tower! That’s crimbo sorted!
Cleo v6 is probably in my top 3 hot hatches I wish we had them in the us
“Great success!” famous phase from Manny khosbin
I love watches, I just bought an Invicta watch that has the red and blue dial, like the Rolex Pepsi, that ill never own.
Watch, in a years time the second room that was meant to be a workshop will have been taken over by lego
I daily drove an Elise S1 back in the early noughties, you do perfect the getting in and out technique. Massively easier without the roof on hence my roof was always off unless it rained or snowed!
That’s a special car - I went through 4 Elise’s and that is a proper unicorn!
That Lotus is really cool.
I would not have looked at it and thought it was dark carbon fiber.
I JUST LUV IT SOUNDS GOOD ALMOST THOUHT IT WAS PORCHE
Drive the 675lt!! downpipes & tune would be cool
Did I miss when the TVR turned up..?!
So nice the 1st an the last those cars look like there so fun to drive can't wait to see the video of you ripping around in it!
While I understand what the owner of the Lotus’s has done with his number plates, I always feel that a number plate with “RST” on it should be an Escort RS Turbo haha
Hahaha lovely how about removibg the roof to get in and out 😊👍
I'm 6'5" with mobility issues and have had various mx5's & TVR's.
By far the easiest way to get in and out is to not have the rood on/up
It would be amazing to have the two lotus cars and the tvr on lifts 5 and 4 with having all the Brits in one area with the Senna and XJ220 directly opposite and showing evolution of British cars and than the ford GT opposite the Mustang and Focus Heritage addition, make it look like they all staring directly at their family's as such. Could than possibly in future do similar with any Germans, JDMs etc etc
So cool ! Love the original shape
It would be so fun if you had frames like the Zenvo linked to your cars and everywhere you park 'em, there's a frame in the concrete going with the car parked.
I own a mk1 mx5 and I’m 6ft tall just gotta take it slow and aim to land just left of the centre(for rhd, which ever side the passenger seat is) then put my leg as far as possible to the centre of the car then struggle to cram my right leg in. But the Elise looks like an entirely new level…
Good luck getting in and out of it 😂
How cool would the lotus look if the wheels where gold JPS vibe 👍
Don't lean on the windscreen on a Lotus!!! Haha beautiful car.
In terms of a pure drivers car you really cannot improve on an Elise or a Caterham, they really are THE benchmarks for all drivers cars, including ALL super cars.
I would say the best way to get in is to take the roof off!
That wasn't even in the ball park of my own guesses.... I imagined summat like an old MG or other British softtop clasic.
11:22 the lusso is back🙃
19:11 Lotus Elise Sport
Wow, I had no idea that Lotus made full-carbon bodied Elises. That has to be one of the most affordable cars ever sold with an exposed carbon body
not much info about these on google……..
Fun channel, sometimes better than abroad rallys, stores and so on. And the Museum is getting better and better over time!
Am I the only one who noticed the windshield wipers on the Clio are the wrong way around ? They’re set up for a left-hand-drive car 🤔
Is there a LEGO Arc De Triomphe? Since you like going to the real one and photographing your cars in front of it; you could have a model one with your model cars arranged around that.
is there gonna be a video of the tvr? so cool to have a variety of cars each with a unique story.
Tim, why not get a pair of race ramps to make it easier to take very low cars off the Autostackers!
I guessed Lotus at 19:13 just not that Elise that is a beauty
a road trip with the clio would be fun and hilarious
Shmee with these AD PLACEMEEENTTSSSSS XD
Can you post a link for the wall art?
Try getting in an old mgb with the roof on and no removable steering wheel
lotus elise may be
The best way to get in and out is to remove the roof...?
Such a cool car
I'd love to have the value of those two plates in the bank, let alone the cars. Very cool.
Well Tim you did say what it was when the video started lol
You gotta arrange the cars in the shmuseum by colour temperature, begging you.
Just a thought, why don't you put an Airride kit on the V6? So, then you can raise and lower on demand?
oui for shmee
Mystery unsolved finally 😂
Yes indeed!
Is there any pagani video for us? 🤔
Maybe!
What's happened to the STO haven't seen it in video's for a while
Love the new Lotus.
Ahhhh finally
Holy crap, That's a cool car!
My guess from the shape at 18:03 would be Lotus Elan....
Reveal
It's a Lotus but not the one I thought 😆
Was a bit fast, the Lotus FIRST was very cool!
18:35 Lotus first edition of firefly
Thanks for setting off 3 apple devices at once 😂
Sorry🤣
Hang the watches randomly throughout from the ceiling
that is amazing
It really is!
Step into the lotus with right leg, then you kinda fall in butt first while swinging your other leg in. Same as a VX220 Turbo
I know that will block the doors but please push the GT500 a little bit more ;+)
I wonder how much the F1RST number plate cost 😅
Shmuseum content > shmee150 content
wow the power to weight on the lotus is insane lol
The Manny Koshbin reference
in the previous clip, the beautiful shape of the nose was clearly visible through the sleek car cover
Nice!!
Thanks!
1st gen lotus lease?
