    Radio looks fine to me. Can't imagine it would get that much use and being a standard size its easy to swap out when obsolete. Very glad it doesn't have an iPad glued to the dash as is the current trend

      My 1997 S1 had a cd player fitted by me, almost never used it (only when parked) and it was the only thing that rusted in the end!

    Worth adding £20k in 1995 is now over £39k according to the Bank of England inflation calculator so given it had double the power of the original and is better built not exactly unjustified to charge £45k entry.

    Lotus have/are selling the tooling. Hope the Elise goes to a Caterham like company and this little fun car has a new "lise" of life! Just sad that they were not able to continue selling in the US.

    Does it have a mecanical limited slip differential as standard or is it an option ?

    • @gordonimrie6968
      @gordonimrie6968 3 роки тому

      not an option - it's a negative - Elise is about handling, an lsd promotes understeer. Hard to appreciate if you think handling is only traction and roadholding

      @deviklovecraft3835 3 роки тому +1

      @@gordonimrie6968 Well, you can certainly install one, but apparently the engineers say they designed the car such that a LSD isn’t necessary. I’m not sure I believe that but I’ve not installed one on my Elise and I’m not keen on doing it anytime soon. Installed a Quaife diff on my Evora and it was a significant improvement. But the Elise is a different animal though

    I don't get the issue with the price. Look how much a Golf R is. Look how much a Caterham 420R is.
    I bought a new Exige 350 at Christmas and think it's the bargain of the century.
    There is nothing else out there like these cars.
