Hersh,
I'd be V suprised to see a replica of the Elise... you can buy a real one for 12-14,000 UKP. A replica would have to be cheaper to be worthwhile...
The chassis is the key to the Elise's success, not it's looks! Perhaps I'm biased as I've owned mine since new & it's a great car.. I hope I never have to sell it!

As far as the Elise goes, there's a
company that imports them to the US and
puts the Honda VTEC in it for US emissions.
Obviously there's a bump in sticker price.
I believe they're located in Connecticut
Now, if they managed to put in the Acura
Integra Type S motor and 6 speed, that would
spark my interest over the GM 2.2!

Chris- Answers to your questions.
1. Not sure a Mk III replica would sell. The Mk I is a much prettier car. A Mk IV would be neat, but the limited cockpit space and long front overhang would make it a challenge on the street.
2. McLaren F1, Chaparral 2D come to mind.
3. Don't think a replica of the 43 would do well this early.
4. No opinion, as I have not paid much attention to the market once I had my car, which has been almost 7 years.

I drive my Lola on the street all the time and it's very comfortable,stays cool,and is way fun.(There's a pic of it on the 917 thread) My MK-IV is actually roomier than a MK-I on the driver's side. Mark Donohue said it was the most comfortable race car he ever drove. As far as front overhang goes I've had no problem with it on the street at all.
