Series 3 Elise R Touring Queen Guitarist Brian May "Special Edition" Resurfaces In The East Midlands

[EuropaSman]

I just found this early 2ZZ powered S3 Elise R for sale with a sports car dealer not far from me in the East Mildands. Not many of these around as the Certificate of Provenance for my early 2ZZ S3 Elise R says there were only 36 produced for the UK market including mine which is the only canyon red one.

It seems to be a special edition of the Elise R to do with the Queen guitarist and has his signature on the side. Unfortunately the hardtop doesn't appear to be included. The car look very similar to the one pictured in the MY11 Elise sales booklet. That one was white with spider wheels, black interior, black diffuser and no aircon. I'm wondering if it's the same car?

 

It was mentioned here on TLF seven years ago. Alas the Ebay advert is long gone.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know about this car?

Do you remember my "Stirling Moss" M100?
