Equipment
Ruote OZ wheels, Goodyear Eagle tires, power windows, cassette stereo.
Condition
Just 260 miles on a one-owner car. Maybe he was disappointed in it. Regardless, it's clean top to bottom and as close to a brand new one of these M100 Elans as you'll find anywhere. Very impressive.
Market commentary
While Mazda was perfecting its modern interpretation of the 1960s Elan with its MX-5 Miata, Lotus was getting it wrong with a front-drive, Isuzu-powered wedge. The M100 Elan didn't sell very well and isn't particularly collectible, and for years it has presented a cheap way into Lotus ownership. Most examples still out there are on the rough side. This like-new one is the best we've seen at auction, and it's the most expensive.
