This 1991 Lotus Elan M100 is one of approximately 559 examples sold in the US and is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Finished in red over black leather, it is equipped with a black soft top, a rear spoiler, pop-up headlights, 16″ five-spoke BBS wheels, air conditioning, a Sony stereo, and power side mirrors and windows. The car was acquired by the seller in 2020 and shows 54k miles. This M100 Elan is offered with a car cover, spare parts, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The fiberglass composite body is finished in red, and the car features a black soft top, a rear spoiler, a single exhaust outlet, and pop-up headlights. Scratches are noted by the seller.
The 16″ five-spoke BBS wheels are mounted with 205/45 Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus tires that were installed under current ownership. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at all four corners, and the independent suspension features double wishbones. The rear wheel bearings were repacked in 2021, and the front axles were rebuilt in February 2022.
The bucket seats are upholstered in black leather, and cabin appointments include air conditioning, a Sony stereo, and power side mirrors and windows. The window function was repaired in 2024 according to the seller. The carpet is worn.
The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Auxiliary readouts for voltage, oil pressure, and boost pressure are located at the top of the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 54k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The turbocharged and intercooled 1.6-liter DOHC inline-four was sourced from Isuzu and tuned by Lotus to produce 162 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Work under current ownership included replacing the battery, timing belt, oil pan, and oil pan gasket.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
A car cover, spare parts, and service records are included in the sale.
