Introducing a true classic: the 1990 Lotus Elan 1.6 SE Turbo, a striking two-door convertible that combines iconic design with spirited performance. Showing just 45,851 miles, this vibrant red example is a fine testament to Lotus engineering. When first released, the Elan was widely regarded as one of the finest-handling front-wheel-drive cars ever produced — a reputation its supporters maintain remains well deserved today. With its 1.6-litre turbocharged engine and manual transmission, it delivers an engaging and exhilarating driving experience, whether on winding country roads or relaxed coastal routes.
This Elan is far more than an eye-catching classic; it is a well-maintained example with a substantial history file, demonstrating careful ownership throughout its life. Recent work carried out in May/June 2026 includes a replacement fuel tank, cambelt, full brake overhaul and service.
Performance has been further enhanced by an engine re-chip carried out by Bell & Colvill in conjunction with Brodie Brittain Racing, increasing power from the original 162 bhp to 215 bhp and delivering a 0–62 mph time of under five seconds.
To complement the increased performance, the braking system has also been upgraded with racing discs, front four-pot AP Racing calipers and Greenstuff ECB pads all round.
The car is also supplied with Lotus service manuals Parts 1 and 2, together with a brand-new exterior car cover.
Presented in excellent overall condition, this Elan is ready to be enjoyed immediately while still offering scope for modest improvements that could make it truly outstanding. Various spare parts are also included.
Perfectly capturing the spirit of 1990s automotive nostalgia, this Lotus Elan offers head-turning presence, timeless appeal and genuine enthusiast credentials. Its stunning red exterior and sleek convertible profile make it a highly attractive opportunity for anyone seeking a distinctive and rewarding modern classic. This is a rare chance to acquire a beautifully presented example of one of Lotus’s most celebrated models.
