Dave Burton gets his Elise Rebuilt This is Dave's account of the full rebuild, including the images of the rebuild and the impact area. Click any image to get a closer look. The situation with the rebuild is quite simple. I had my Elise for two days. On my way home from work I had an accident. It was wet and as I came off a round-about, 90 degree left, I started to accelerate and must of hit some diesel or something. The car 180'd, went up the curb and into a lamp post (drivers door). My head struck the cant rail (roof support), the car did another 180 degrees and was now facing in the right direction. I ended up hitting a fence and munching the front clam. The chassis split at the door hinge area and therefore required replacement. The car had an entire rebuild around a brand new chassis. All the original running gear was retained. The car had a new front clam, drivers door and glass, and other bits and pieces. All in all, the work was about £13,500. I have the car back now and use it every day. The car was rebuilt by Christopher Neil in Cheshire, a Lotus specialist and TVR main dealer (you can probably tell by the photos!).
