The end...

1996 Lotus Elise
Started on Aug. 25 by BoxheadTim
Very early Elise (chassis #53). Mostly standard, a couple of features that make a very early car have been changed. It doesn't have the MMC disks anymore as you can't get decent pads for them and the previous owner reverted to the later model steel disks.

Obviously it has a hardtop, but I do also have the soft top for it. Not recommended in winter, though.
