For sale is a low mileage and well maintained Calypso Red 1991 North American Elan M100. (Turbo)
It has 37,700 miles and will continue to increase, albeit slowly.
The red paint has been recently refreshed. It's not a show car, but it looks very good, as those who attended LOG36 can attest. (Annual Lotus Owners Gathering)
The interior in excellent condition. It comes with a clear (NY) Title.
A Bluetooth head unit is the only non-oem change on the interior.
Starts right up, and has the service and maintenance attention to ensure it will stay reliable for the next owner.
The car comes with new rotors, brake pads, battery, and tires. (1,200 miles to date.)
Lotus doesn't have a record of the car getting the Gas Tank recall. (I have the record from Lotus.) This was either due to it not needing the work or the owner at the time not taking it to a dealer.
Not wanting to take any chances, I purchased a new, tested, OEM tank from the UK. Had it shipped to the US, and installed by a certified mechanic and team. I didn't have issues with it before. But to me, this is one of those things I had to do.
A performance chip has been added to the ECU. It works flawlessly.
The soft top is about two years new, and looks very good. Goes up and down flawlessly. And is 98% water resistant.
All fluids are up to date, and all hoses and belts are either brand new, or in very good condition.
The car drives extremely well. The AC even blows quite cool.
And the heated mirrors work.
A brand new exhaust system from PNM Engineering has been installed. (It sounds great.)
The vehicle was just at LOG36, and received quite a few compliments.
Notes:
(i) Mileage can change, as the car is being driven. It is also for sale locally. The auction can end before the 7 days.
(ii) I tried to describe the car as well as I know it. It is about 25 years old. It is sold AS IS. I encourage buyers to come and check it out or have it inspected.
