The Lotus Elise is 25 - and it's designer, Julian Thompson, helps us celebrate.

I was in London in 1995-6?, standing next to green Elise, being amazed by the design and the look. Now 25 years later I bought Exige S260 in US and is about to enjoy the car ! Congratulation for the quarter century anniversary !

I still love my 1999 Elise 19 years after I bought it . Good examples now selling for mor than I paid. So no regrets on the money spent over the years. All the parts replaced are better and stronger than those that came with the car. No rattles or squeaks or leaks just a bit loud. Mine even has a carpet set bought from Lotus!

I fell for the Elise as soon as I saw it and every time I see one, especially an S1, it really lifts my day. It's a happy car, and there are very few of those.

Great to see Julian again after so many years. But a better tone quality would have helped this video.

Does anybody know what seats are on the Elise?
