I see pics of Lotus Elise owners having meets and etc already in the US...I thought the Elise or any other model other than Esprit wasnt street legal here in US...I have seen 1 "Elise looking" model on the track in Portland but that was a essentially a race car and Im pretty sure he brought it in trailer...dont know the history of Lotus well(obviously) so which models are the ones already here in US(obviously isnt the Federal Elise)....btw, just ordered the book "Lotus Elise:the official story" by Jeremy Walton....hope its good.
