sorry for the wrong links, butt thanks GKP for the good link...

here in holland the people want to go a day out in a exige ofcourse you think, butt when you also want to bicycle that same day then you must find a way... and that is this way: http://www.autogespot.com/files/autogespot/files/23_07_2010/c214748364823072010173631_2.jpg http://www.autogespot.com/files/autogespot/files/23_07_2010/c214748364823072010173631_4.jpg http://www.autogespot.com/files/autogespot/files/23_07_2010/c214748364823072010173631_3.jpg and its also illegal because you dont see the license plate...

at first i wanne say thats its a very nice elite s2, butt i think that this car is resprayed because if you see to the metal looking trim around the windows then you see that the lower ones are red, and i dont saw that on a elite when the come out of the factory.. butt its very shiny also inside the car you collect a nice car

thanks mat, its right, and i gonna tell you how it is: when you make a picture (on a bridge) and its inside and also dark.. then the photo camera makes automatic a lighting photo.. (because otherwise you see nothing and its not sharp) so then the brown collor looks very very rusty... (of course) butt i am a honnest seller so i make pictures of the car... (after that i give the chassis a other rust treathment,..) so its very fine... i had one elite before and that one was very rusty, and i know what rusty is because i am a car mecanic and this is not the first car that i look to with rust... the car had years ago the body off so they putt special stuff on the chassis thats its not gonna rust, (especially on the things when they rust the hole car is laying on the wheels every elite owner knows that spots) and also above the back brakes, i will give anybody a sledge hammer and they may hit the car as a idiot, i will give them 1000 GBP. if the brake it because its hard very hard, in the real you must see and FEEL it, and dont say just something i think then...

the car looks lovely from below, no rust at all, butt whe like the car more from the up side from the shape..

no its not on mobile.nl (i think also that its not exist) we have www.marktplaats.nl there is only a RHD car for sale on today, its a 504 type, butt good news when my elite is done i gonna sell my eclat and elite together (lhd and rhd drive cars) butt i dont know when i sell the cars because i am very busy with the leather interior, and overhauling the engine i want a excel so thats why the cars go away, greetings from holland

maby the one how haves this car, dont have the money for a esprit, so he makes his ow

HI, here in the netherlands the people are strange, if you have a eclat or elite then you (i think) never make you car as a ferrari (because you are a truly lotus lover..) butt some people make there one special eclat.... this one is for sale butt for a really really high price.. 5.900 euro ( thats around the 4900 GBP) (click on the links for more pictures..) http://img96.imageshack.us/f/82815251.jpg/ http://img683.imageshack.us/f/83625496.jpg/ http://img690.imageshack.us/f/71448662.jpg/ strange butt real did anybody see more like this modifacations?
