About this car

The Type 49 was a limited-run Series 2 Elise that borrowed its livery from Lotus's Formula One past: Ardent Red and Old English White, split by a gold stripe.

Underneath it is a standard Series 2 Elise, with a lightweight aluminium chassis and a mid-mounted 1.8-litre Rover K-Series engine making roughly 120 bhp, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The cabin has Scarlet Red trim with perforated leather, and the soft top is blue.
