Is this the one and only road car? I remember reading about it in EVO, and I'm sure it said there's just one of the roadcars in existance. It's all black now though.
Also, did the guy who woned it ever go for the top speed run he was on about? I'm sure it'd have been immensely quick with the turbos on full boost. Seemed a nice car.

AFAIK only one GT1 was built by Lotus themselves. A second road car was put together from Lotus parts at a later date. This is the yellow car. some more info here:

As I stated: price upon request.
Since I have nowhere near the amount of money I did not request...

What a disappointing history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Elise_GT1

Such a shame they didn't last.

But how do you know? hehe

If I had nothing better to do, I'd phone up all traders who put "POA" and ask how much the car is, then reply, "Oh, dear, I can't afford that. How about $10,000 and 2 camels?" in a strong arabic accent. biggrin
