UNIQUE LOTUS ELISE BELL & COLVILL TURBO This is a unique car, converted by Bell & Colvill for the previous owner in 1999. It is the only dealer-made turbocharged road going Elise on a UK plate, and the extra power gives it ridiculous acceleration, compared to the standard engine, I'll show you when you view it. 675 kg (down from 725) and 220 bhp (up from 118) will do that to a car. The handling and grip are insane, as you would expect from a suspension kit and cut slicks. You will need to warm the tyres and brakes up, then they can cope with masses of abuse on a track. It is road legal (just), but it is a track monster, boasting Speedline alloys, lowered suspension, race brakes, plastic rear screen, and carbon-fibre roof, forged pistons, 4-point harnesses, racing seats, Momo detachable steering wheel and a straight-through pipe so you can take off the cat if you want for track days. It has a carbon fibre lightweight roof, and the original cloth roof is present as well. Do NOT expect refinement. The ride is hard. The gearbox is standard, so top speed isn't changed, it's just whatever revs you want to risk. Aside from at Spa and the 'Ring I've not needed more top end. I don't top 6000 personally (no real need to), but the original redline I believe to be 6850. It's not concours standard, it's a track car. That you can drive home. There is also a Brian James trailer available separately for £1500.
