Like so many other English sports cars, the Lotus Elise looks so right in British Racing Green. Wire Wheel is offering this 2005 Lotus Elise for $27,900. While it does have a rebuilt title, Wire Wheel knows these cars well enough to separate the good ones from the bad ones.

I'll have two please. Red - me. Green - mrs lux 
You're right. I do need that. Wanna talk my wife into it for me?
But I could buy a Z06 for that much! 
Is that an advertisement? Because when I click the "Read the rest of the story" link... there is no more story. Just the same text saying "you should buy this rebuilt title Elise for $27.5k because this company knows stuff about profiting from wrecked Elises"! (paraphrased)

I know right? Or... if you stretch the budget a little you can squeeze into a 17 year old Miata with a V8 swap!
Turbo 996 is getting there too.
And yet somehow, this is not the same car as a Corvette or a 996 Turbo or a custom-built V8 Miata or a Toyota minivan. It's like they're all valid options. Weird.
I'm pretty sure this is going to be a lot more fun in the corners than a Z06.
Needed it. Bought it. I regret nothing.
There's a yellow and black one that autocrossas locally. The driver is my size and maybe twice my age, I have no idea how he gets in and out.
Way prettier in British racing green, but really what isn't?
It's fast, it's noisy, at least when he's driving it has a pretty hard understeer issue. Looks like tons of fun though.
I think the best part is seeing it show up with a tire trailer on the back.
Lotus has some awesome colors for the Elise. There a red that's just incredible in the sunlight, it has gold highlights.

Wait, what?
You actually bought this car?
Cool!

I call shotgun!
Call me a fan of BRG, too. Yes, the Elise works well in just about any color, but green is just so classic.
Oh, I want one. But, I also don't fit in one.
In reply to wvumtnbkr:
Nope, a chrome orange one. Another fella on the boards has the twin to mine. Wouldn't mind a BRG exige though.
I looked at one when they were new in BRG with Oxblood (really dark red) interior. It was an amazing color combo. I've never seen another one in person.
I'd love to have one, but I can't afford them. Oh, well.

I'm not usually a BRG and tan kinda guy, but that looks great.
Had a saving plan for one but got layed off work so that plan has been put on hold. :(
One day.....
this car, this color combo, over a MX5.........hell yeah every day
That green is beautiful, but I like this even better
Lotus Laser Blue. Love it so much, we painted a car at FM that color.
BRG with Oxblood kinda reminds me of 'lippin' an 8plus pound largemouth on a lazy sunny day at the lake.........
