I figured it got damaged while doing duty in the Lotus fleet.

I do understand Lotus sells track only vehicles, but typically manufacturers do not sell pre-production cars. Very interesting. Do you know someone at Lotus? 99.9% of the time, preproduction cars are sent to the crusher.

Cool piece of Elise history...
