The car was designed without a roof and that is how it should stay, it just makes it look like a kit-car now...Bloody awful.

Other than the new 'track car' that lotus are producing it is the lightest variant of the elise to date with an S1 exige VHPD engine slapped in the back. Only problem with them is if you dink the bodywork you have to replace the whole shell at a price of 10k GBP and that doesn't include the fitting!!

You can pick them up here in the UK now for approx 20k with 3-4000 miles on the clock. The orignial price was 35k IIRC. I think one of the main reasons that they became a PITA for Lotus was becasue they had a hard time selling all of them.....
