This 1991 Lotus Elan M100 is one of approximately 559 examples sold in the US and was acquired new by the seller from Bill Cook Imported Cars of Farmington Hills, Michigan. Finished in red over a black interior, the car is powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Features include 16″ alloy wheels, an independent suspension, pop-up headlamps, a soft top, leather seats, power windows, air conditioning, and a cassette stereo. Service in 2020 consisted of a timing belt replacement.
The fiberglass composite body was designed by Peter Stevens, and this example is finished in Calypso Red. Exterior features include pop-up headlamps, a black soft top, heated side mirrors, an integrated spoiler, and a single exhaust finisher.
Lotus-branded 16″ OZ Racing wheels are mounted with 205/45 Goodyear Eagle GS-D tires. Disc brakes are stationed at all four corners, and the independent suspension features double wishbones.
The seats are upholstered in black leather, and the cabin features a matching dash, carpeting, and door panels. Amenities include power windows, air conditioning, Lotus-script floor mats, a lockable glove box, and a Sony cassette stereo.
An airbag steering wheel sits ahead of a central 170-mph speedometer flanked by a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline along with auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 10k miles.
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.
Power is transferred to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
The window sticker lists factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $39,990.
