Saw this for sale with Autotrader. Is this an Elise colour?

Looks to me like a standard VX Green with a dodgy paint job on the grills...

[waverunner]

So I presume it's Vauxhall's British Racing Green. It's just that I've never seen a green one before - every other colour but not green.

it also has the lightning black window surround and wheels on it.. There were two (poss more..?) greens available on the VX (not sure if they are both still available) and this looks like one of them. awful awful grilles. Green and yellow hmmm should have just bought a lotus in the first place..

oh and he has a black grille (but by the looks of it the actual griffin is still silver)

That's what I thought. Why buy a VX and try to make it look like a Lotus?!

Doesn't look like BRG... more like on of those perlescent ones that change colour with the light My guess is that it's a lightning that's been sprayed Green.

Le Mans Green I think. Similar pearlescent effect to Europa Blue, but in green

Went to see this car on Tuesday. Having made a close inspection the paint is definately pearlescent British Racing Green from the factory. However the black window surround looks like a DIY job, as does the black spraypaint on the alloys which is peeling off revealing the silver underneath! Apparently the yellow grilles are definately a DIY job and it's supposed to look like a previous Lotus Le Mans racer from way back when. The guy offered me £14k for it! With 30k on the clock and all those modifications what would you say? Ben
