Chassis No. SCCGA36B1MHF28127. 1588-cc, 162-hp I-4. 5-speed manual. Metallic Blue over black. Ruote OZ wheels, Goodyear Eagle tires, power windows, cassette stereo.

EVALUATION : Original | Just 260 miles on a one-owner car. As close to a brand-new M100 Elan as you’ll find anywhere. Very impressive.

BOTTOM LINE : As Mazda was perfecting its modern interpretation of the 1960s Elan with the MX-5 Miata, ­Lotus was getting it wrong with a front-drive, Isuzu-powered wedge. The M100 Elan didn’t sell very well and isn’t particularly collectible, and for years it has presented a cheap way into Lotus ownership. Most examples still out there are on the rough side. This is the nicest one we’ve seen at auction, and it’s the most expensive.
