No thanks- I say it will go for $65K though given it's a factory custom.

 

Just goes to show that good taste and money do not necessarily go hand in hand!

That is hideous... what were they thinking.

:huh:

 

Paul took the words out of my mouth! $62,500. It only takes two people with poor taste that like it to drive it up. They should have spent that money under the hood.

 

I'll bet it fails to meet reserve and dosn't sell at all.

 

Just when you thought the Harrods edition could'nt be topped for fugliness...

 

BARF

Everything about that color scheme is fugly. Quilted leather? I don't know if I should sit on it or wipe my ass with it?

 

I will be interested to see it at the auto show. I like the body color, but the blue wheels, dark blue on the hood and quilted leather don't look so good to me.

It is one of a kind, so it may exceed $70 K at auction.

[some people are buying chrome orange, so there is no accounting for taste]

I know where you can get a standard Elise for $58K from the dealer.
You have your choice of Yellow or Green.
Park Place Ltd. in Bellevue, Wa.
I really wish I had taken a picture of the window stickers

As for the Barrett Jackson... If I had my choice between *IT* and an Aztec Bronze... I'm not sure I could make a decision.

Lotus did quilted leather on the 2004 Esprits. Looks pretty good IMHO (the quilted leather I mean -- the blue wheels have gotta go).

 

yes i'm aware of that. but IMHO it makes the car look dated for some reason. :shrug:

oh, come now...those seats aren't that bad.

those of us who will be lucky enough to see it in person at the LAAS can voice your opinions personally.

 

whoever buys it, I bet it will shortly end up being an ebay special edition....

Charman is quilted.

 

How about this one? (Picture edited by Cranium)

 

dude i love that car

can I chew tobacco and spit on the floor or will it damage the aluminum bonded frame.


(i meant the general lee elise)

 

Maybe I'm too young to appreciate the necessity of visual reminders as to what kind of car I'm driving. The over abundance of Elise and Lotus stickers really detract from the car's lines. It reminds me of the Chysler Conquest from the mid-1980's. It wouldn't let you forget that the car had a "Turbo".

 

The first image in this thread looks photoshopped to me.

I agree. The covers over the brake booster and everything behind the windshield looks shopped.

 

you guys are right, it does look photoshopped!

i mean really the poor car (itself) has to drive down the street looking like that? how embarrassing for the car....

it's probably thinking "i'm a Lotus, why cheapen me up like this?? all my brothers and sisters are cool and perfect looking as stock elises!!! booo hooo"

no accounting for taste is there?
