Thanks for the post - we'll take all the information we can get.

I guess "tyre inflator" sounds better than "can of fix-a-flat"?

There is also an Elise Color Guide page too. The approximations are horrid though. Better to look at that eliseracing.com site.

As an M100 Elan owner, I love how that period of Lotus history was skipped over. What are they trying to say...

Chris,

Thanks for the post. That's the best brochure I have seen regarding the US Elise. The single page they handed out at the LA show was a little too short.

Best Wishes,
Mitch

HI Mitch,
No probl. The thing is the brochure seems to be designed for people that already know the car as it contains no good pics of the car!! Perhaps they'll come up with something down the road.

Also, if somebody has the color chart sheet please scan and post here too, as I mentioned the ones I have are missing that sheet.

...with BarryB, colors on this sheet don't do the car justice at all. FWIW, here it is shrunk down a bit:

I hear ya. It is nice to know that a US brochure even exists!!!!

As fare as the color chart goes. The best color chart I have ever seen is at www.eliseracing.com

Not only can you see your color, but you can see what it looks like with the wheels of your choice

Best Wishes,
Mitch

adamant · 01-28-2004, 11:08 AM

Yeah, that colour chart is no good! It has all the important colours missing !

Save your money on the OLC Lotus Life membership. The current club and web site has been dead for years. Certainly nothing to justify the membership price.

Derek,

Only kidding

What color did you order. I happen to like most of them.

Best Wishes,

Nice!!!

Can't wait till get Storm Titanium in my driveway soon...

scmcclure · 03-15-2004, 09:05 PM

I'm glad I saw this spec sheet. I was told at the Atlanta show this weekend that power locks would only come with the Touring Package. This post explains that power/remote locks are standard. I'm still debating on the Touring Package.

Glad you joined up. I'm guilty of the power lock thing at Atlanta, I wasn't sure, I'd thought is came with all cars. When I got home I looked it up and of course found I was wrong, my fault, but I never actually looked at the base package as had planned for touring all along.

As I mentioned, lots of good info on this bbs!!
Welcome to the board!

elisespeedster · 04-20-2004, 10:49 AM

WHY DONT THE OFFER LAZER BLUE? !!!!!!

it wasn't in the catalog???

maybe i missed the reason in the post. and i dont really have time to read....(im a busy man)

WHY DONT THE OFFER LAZER BLUE? !!!!!!

Randy Chase · 04-20-2004, 11:28 AM

I don't have time to reply either..

But they do offer Lazer Blue, at least for the time being. It was a late entry as an option based on requests.

zvezdah1 · 04-20-2004, 11:45 AM

speedster,
The order guide referred to in this thread was very much a slapped together bit to enable people to order the first cars. Actually appeared before the LA show launch, so all the details are not exact.

Chris

elisespeedster · 04-22-2004, 01:47 AM
