That was the car that was being sold at wirewheel.com about a year ago.

MidasHands · 07-03-2009, 05:26 PM

Does anyone know how much?

fishtaco · 07-03-2009, 06:14 PM

Not that I could ever afford it, but yes dammit, how much?

DPM · 07-03-2009, 07:15 PM

As I recall it sold for $100,000 or a little less.

This is a different Elise GT-1 from the one that we sold at wirewheel.com - Wire Wheel Classic Sports Cars about 2 years ago. The car being offered here has the Esprit twin turbo engine while our car had the Lotus designed Corvette ZR-1 engine. Our car was built by the Lotus Motorsport race team while this car was built up from leftover parts. I think they are asking about $300,00 for this car.
We sold our car for about $300,000

I was going through the archives tonight and came across these pics. I thought that some of you might find them to be of interest. These were used for the original Elise GT1 effort, before the ZR-1 Chevy (also a Lotus design, back when they were owned by GM) engines were used:
