I always thought an elise/vx chassis would be a pretty cool basis for a monster middi...
Replace the rear subframe with a properly mounte V10 :p
On eBay... looks well beyond use to me, but if it stays in the low hundreds, then worth a punt purely for forensic-dissection!

hmmm.. interesting

There's a company offering the R32 V6 engine into the Elise...
The remains of that chassis are useless. It is dented and weakened on the LHS and the front has been cut away. There is no prospect of repairing it and it's only worth is as scrap. Avoid at all costs.
That'll be why I said it's "well beyond use" in my initial post and suggested that it's only useful for pulling apart out of
sheer Lotus chassis-wizardry-construction curiosity!
... at a nominal price! 
it's scary to think someone might actually think they can do something with that and buy it!
It's had the suspension mounts cut off. The chassis of my Elise was written off because I cracked the glue in a joint on a suspension mount. I hope no-one ever puts wheels on it.
I've seen the VX chassis in the factory. A work of art. I'd have one just to look at if they made one with tidy glue! There's zero chance of repairs though so don't ever bend one. At least with steel cars you can weld them.
