Description

Many know that the Lotus brand was built with racing intentions in mind. Founder Colin Chapman once said the best way to build a racing car was to “simplify and add lightness” in this case, the M100 series Elan took that mindset to heart. The Elan was Lotus' first car to use a steel backbone chassis, with fiberglass bodywork to help 'add lightness'. Our detailer is carefully working to cleanup this triple black unicorn as we get it all cleaned up just before the nasty weather rolls in for the season.

It's one of just 5 black/black cars imported for 1991, so we are using great care with it. Just like we do with all cars!
