Too bad Colin (who died in 1982), did not live to see his "signature edition". I almost expect is was an Elise that the owner added some extra stickers to it.

No there was a story about this one car. It disappeared after the war. It can't be though...

If this is true it would turn the LT community upside down. This post must be deleted or all we stand for could be ruined.

By even mentioning that this car might exist. You have single handily saved the marque or damned it forever !

Either you believe this car exists or you deny it's possibility. What comes next ? Who knows ?

This is nearly as exclusive as the Momo edition.

As for Elise Editions, there are:

Elise Sport
Elise Type 72D Edition
Elise California Edition
Elise SC 60th Anniversary Edition
Elise SC Jim Clark Type 25 Edition
Elise Purist Edition
Elise SC RGB Roger Becker Edition
Elise SC Final Edition

And now we have the Elise Colin Chapman Decal Edition?
And don't forget the slightly bloated Danny Bahar / Baldwin Editions. A very short run of 5 cars produced in 2010...

Wow....Colin signed it in a couple of places !

 

[addertooth]

Odd, the add said it had a splitter but the picture sure didn't show any splitter.

“Rare combination of Solar Yellow color and Signature Edition."

True enough: it doesn't get rarer than "non-existent."

 

[vao4v]

If I remember correctly, this guy is one of those collectors who only buys editions of the Elise so rare that not even members of LT know about them. For instance, the 2008 Gucci Edition:
