STORY

The Lotus 340R was a limited-production, radically styled roadster built in 1999-2000, based on the Series 1 Elise. Just 340 examples were produced, each with an open, roofless and doorless body and a Rover K-series 1.8-litre engine tuned to around 177 bhp. Its stark, exposed-wheel design made it a cult collector's Lotus.
