Interesting that Schmee has another Elise on his channel at the moment which he says was the very final Elise every made - its in the brightest orange known to man and does look pretty amazing I have to say!

It's not his. And it is allegedly the last 250 CUP. Not the last Elise, as Lotus kept that one. Elisa has the last customer Elise.

I've emailed on Facebook Tim Burton (Schmee) to highlight this and included a screenshot of Elisa's COP, as his mention of the final Elise was beginning to grind my gears. His team said they would pass the info on to him, but not heard back from him in person (not surprised to be honest).

Like @jep has said, as far as I'm aware his friend has the final Cup 250 Final Edition (probably the last customer delivery from factory of an Elise due to the gazillion layers of paint Hethel had to apply 😄) and Elisa has the final final final customer Elise as far as I'm concerned (both feet in the Elisa camp my end!).

Yes, I knew it wasn't his, just on his channel at the moment.  Like you say, final 250 and final 240, with the latter being the final final!  That's a nice thing for Lotus to have done, I hope she keeps it and drives for years to come 🙂 

Presumably Matt Windles was a late build as well, I think he said somewhere he'd bought one - be nice to know what spec his is at.

I think Matt Windle might have mentioned he'd bought an Elise Final Edition in @Bibs interview video  from last year. Could be wrong though.

In good company…

If you happen to drive through the Swiss alps, it would be nice to meetup. Great videos by the way

Some pictures of today's very early morning drive.

I am pretty sure the featured Schmee Elise 250cup is quite special as i would imagine it is the heaviest final cup250 produced.

Not that I'm biased, but she definitely says the S1 is best 😁.  And she should know.

That being said, both are gorgeous and those roads and that weather definitely made me jealous.

So hot in white 🔥

At the last Moira Furnace Car Club car show of 2022 with my red Elise. Five Lotus in attendance including a Sunbeam. A good turn out.

Switzerland, "Furkapass" in the background and "Grimselpass" on the way up

Oh, yeah. I can recognize the hotel in the bend now. Very nice framing!

Digging though some old CDs found this pic of my old Exige at Road Atlanta back in 2003.
