Here is a site where they show the actual european brochure. Thought this might me kind of neat to show what they did offer in the european version. www.elises.co.uk/models/s2/index.html

HI Ulm,

Just a heads up. That's a brochure for the euro car year 2001. So it's quite a bit different from the present 111s.

Here's the link to the latest UK brochure:

Gull Wing roof is for sale now?


check 1st link!>?

Not from Lotus. They cancelled the gull-wing hardtop.

Only aftermarket suppliers produce it now.

Several other options in the original brochure never made it to the production car.

Eg. the adjustable passenger footrest was also dropped and a 2-step footrest put in it's place.

Several of the interior options also never happened.

Bye, Arno.

What i come to understand is that lotus will produce the gull wing hard top for extra $. My previous dealer who retired recently told me that lotus has a center in england that will do custom work and can re create anything they previously made.

So may be that with extra $ on the side someone order a gull wing hardtop from lotus.

and can re create anything they previously made.

Problem here is that they never built a working S2 gullwing hardtop to start with.

The only ones were car show mock-ups, so there is nothing to re-create..

Bye, Arno.

the reason i refuse to buy from any other company else is because i want all lotus made parts.

When you get your car I will gladly take that motor, frame, clamshells, wheels, shocks, springs, etc.... off your hands since none of them are "made" by Lotus. Truth is that Lotus outsources a very high percentage of the parts they use to assemble the cars. They are factory authorized parts but that doesn't necessarily mean they are any better than an aftermarket company could produce.

I've got the actual 2003 brochure. It's pretty nice, actually. It's a folder with a dozen or so 8x10 sheets of thin cardboard. The inside of the folder is a nice view of the interior. As for info, there isn't much that's new that hasn't been posted here or other websites already. It's definitely much more comprehensive than the online version. It does cover a little Lotus history w/a picture of Mr. Chapman, and a couple of the special editions (Type 25 & 72?). Hopefully the U.S. brochure will be just as nice.

sorry but i think i was a tad un-clear, i was referring to body parts / aero

If its not designed by lotus then i wont buy it. Aero parts only.
