Lotus Elite - 1958 to 1963

This is one gorgeous little car! Apparently there were only 1000 or so made. I was lucky enough to see one in a supermarket carpark in England while I was there and speak to the owner. 500kg and 100hp, not bad! All fibreglass too. We were talking about roadster styling yesterday in OT and I searched for a few cars, this was one.
I came across an ebay auction for a restored one for 140k USD buy now price. It has some photos, here's the link:

And, thanks to adblock plus and wget -i here are the same pics from both links cached. Use only if the others aren't working.
