HOW MANY LOTUS ELISE 340R ARE LEFT?

There are 33 LOTUS ELISE 340R left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 55 LOTUS ELISE 340R that are currently SORNED.

The total number of LOTUS ELISE 340R was highest during 2000 Q4 (127). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 39 (31%) LOTUS ELISE 340R have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of LOTUS ELISE 340R that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.
