1991 Lotus Elan M100

• *  Price = $15,900

• *  It's been a reliable daily driver and I only stopped using it for that when I got the Elise.

• *  Lotus cars are always extremely fun, but this one is a lot more comfortable and safer than most models. 

• *  39,000 Miles

• *  I also have the original keychain, dealer promotional pack and press pack for the car.
• *  It's had dealer maintenance and the following non-scheduled items:
•   *  Shift cables replaced and upgraded to new metal end variety (by previous owner)
•   *  Cam Angle Sensor replaced (All US Elans got a defective unit from Isuzu)
•   *  Timing chain replaced
•   *  Secondary water pump replaced
• *  The following are items that need work:
  • *  It could use a good detailing (it was a daily driver) but I'll get that done if we can agree on a price.
  • *  One rear tire is not the correct model (It is the right size/type))
  • *  One dashboard light is loose
  • *  The bumpers could use a touch up. (There is some paint missing that's estimated to be about $300 to repair, all show in the detail pictures click here for non-beauty shots
