Description Tidy example from 10 year ownership showing just 88,771 miles; huge history file Supplied new by Lotus Centre, London in March 1992, this rather striking M100 series Elan SE Turbo is finished in Blue with black Mohair hood and rides on a set of natty 17” 1000 Miglia alloy wheels behind which lay drilled/vented discs at the front with red callipers and greenstuff pads giving a sharp look to the car.
Under the wide, stubby snout, we find the 1.6 litre Isuzu 4XE1-MT four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve turbocharged petrol engine which produced 162bhp when new driving the front wheels via five-speed manual transmission.
Performance was brisk, with a strong power to weight ratio given its lightweight GRP body with the dash to 60 taking just 6.5 seconds.
Inside, we find comfortable cream leather piped anthracite, electric windows, electric mirrors, immobiliser, power steering, digital clock and face-off radio/CD player.
The roof on the Elan is manually operated with cable pull release...
