STK 3165 1991 Lotus Elan

The Lotus Elan Type M100 was launched by Lotus/GM in August 1989, reviving the Elan nameplate after 14 years. A two-seater convertible sports car with front-wheel drive was designed in-house by Lotus and was conceived as a mass-market car that would appeal to young US buyers. Its design featured a polymer composite body constructed over a rigid steel backbone chassis with front-wheel drive. (This was the only front-wheel-drive vehicle made by Lotus.) It featured a 1,588 cc DOHC turbochargered/intercooled 16-valve 4-cylinder engine w/fuel injection sourced from Isuzu and extensively modified by Lotus. Significant differences in the Isuzu-Lotus engine included a new exhaust system, redesigned intake and modified control unit with an output rated at 130bhp. Isuzu also supplied the 5-speed manual transaxle. This 1991 Lotus Elan is a very nice example of the M100 The partially restored roadster has received a new coat of Monaco White paint. A subtle trunk lid spoiler and factory 16x7” alloy wheels w/performance radials provide sharp accents. The original black interior is in overall good condition with only normal wear to the leather seating. Carpeting, dash and door cards are all in good condition. Features include air conditioning, power tinted windows and power locks. There is a driver-side airbag and sounds come from by an aftermarket in-dash AM/FM/MP3 sound system. The black convertible top is also in good condition and recedes under a polymer body-colored tonneau. Lotus designed the chassis with independent front/rear 'interactive' wishbone suspension, power steering and power assisted 4-wheel disc brakes. The Type M100 delivers an honest-sports-car feel and is ready for the new owner who will appreciate this very unique Elan. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
