Description of 1991 Lotus Elan |
For sale here is an extremely rare car. A Lotus Elan M100. One of only 559 ever imported into the US in that one year. This is the best handling FWD car ever made with practically no understeer. This car has been extremely well maintained. I have done pretty much all the reliability upgrades as well as replacing everything that needed to be replaced so you won't have to. All these upgrades and replacements would cost you close to the selling price of this car. This is a CA and not a 49 state car so has no issues with smog. I am also including a bunch of extras. 1991 Lotus Elan M100 ( Red 99750 Miles AC Blows COLD Clean Title 5-Speed Manual Handmade in Hethel, England Designed by Peter Stevens (Designer of the McLaren F1 & Jaguar XJR-15) Signed by Valentino Balboni Just Passed Smog and Registered (07/17/2018) Specs: Engine - 1,588 cc Isuzu 4XE1-MT Turbo I4 Tranmission - 5 Speed Manual Isuzu Front Engined - Front Wheel Drive Weight 2450lbs 165BHP Stock (might be a bit more now and can be chipped to go to 240hp). 0-60 in 6.5 seconds Stock (again this figure is most likely slightly lowered now).
