Lotus Elise

THRILL RIDE: Can you tell from his grin that Mike has just been on a test drive in this Lotus Elise 2? Edd had better get his overalls on.

TIRED AROUND THE EDGES: It is a bit tired looking around the edges but there isn't much wrong with this Lotus. How can Edd and Mike add value to it?

PORT AND LEMON: Mike takes the engine head to a specialist to have it polished and newly ported. This increases the BHP from 120 to 150. That is more like it!

UPGRADED: The car is given upgraded wheels and tyres and Edd upgrades the suspension to an adjustable system which can be set up for road or track.

DIFFUSION LINE: Edd adds a new rear diffuser to give the Lotus some aerodynamic downforce.

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS: Lotus Cars was founded by engineer, designer, inventor and builder Colin Chapman in 1952. He initially ran Lotus in his spare time with a group of car enthusiasts.

ON THE TRACK: The Lotus is put through its paces at the famous Stowe track at Silverstone. Mike and Edd have given their Lotus Elise a racing edge.
