Love the car in any config since your mini-wrap. But if had to choose, in order of preference : 1. Hard top. 2. No top. 3. Soft top But 2/3 combo is going to be best for you in Monaco - Spring to end Autumn. TIP: Get yourself a rechargeable torque screwdriver - will reduce hard top changing time to minutes. ATB, Andy
Both roofs are awesome is like having 2 cars in one Seb . You decide whichever you let most of the time its your car . Nicely done !!! Keep em rolling , the videos i refer ... BYEEEEEE !!!!
Anyone else check their phone at 3:45, and again at 3:49? Couldn't the screws have been started with the short end of the Allen wrench (more torque) and then finished up with the long end (more speed)? That's how I like to work socket head screws. Too bad the roof takes so long to put on or off. The Lotus looks great with the top off, but I imagine most drivers are less inclined to take it off if it takes so much time. The cloth top isn't half as flattering to the car as the hard top is. My preference, in order, is topless, hard top, and soft top.
+Alvaro Grados It's a Lotus design,it will fill itself up when raining so it will cool the driver down when driving quickly or after the driver had a workout.Don't know how to deal with it in the winter though.
It looks great with the hardtop! And topless, too bad it is so much work to get the hardtop out of the car. And for that softtop, isn't it possible to attach the front side first and then the back side? Maybe that makes jt easier to attach the roof that way?
Hard top is the best because the colors and stripes match, but no top is obviously the best overall. It looks cool and makes the car a lot easier to get in.
Seb. Something that will cut your hard top time in have is a drill with the correct Allen wrench fitting! When tightening don't tighten it fully with the drill. Hand tighten it after about half way so you don't strip the screws!!
As far as customisation goes, I would get someone to do the same strip/carbon style on the soft top too. Some kind of red fabric + carbon leather-kinda material.. Would be awesome ;)
+Yvonnne Curtis I had an Elise with a soft top some years back and it always leaked when it rained and I live in the U.K. so that was maybe a bad choice on my side lol
Much easier to put the soft top back on if you just rolled it from one side to take it off, great car the Elise, great gas mileage too for a car this fast.
The car is very nice, But i would leave the hardtop on because it looks more agressive. And when it is summer i would take the roof off. But its your car, so it is your dicission
Just my opinion...hard top for sure, I may just be picky though. Never had a car with a soft top, only cars with a sunroof (moonroof) whichever you want to call it and hardly ever even opened them. That's just my opinion though.

Hard top is always the best looking in my eyes! Then topless!
+T-WRX I agree. they need to removable hardtop that can be stored like the Koenigsegg :P
+DoctaM3 and the Lamborghini aventador roadster and the Bugatti veyron ss and many more
I honestly thought your Lotus was boring when you first bought it, but with the wrap and the customizations it looks great!
There is nothing inside it
+Thomas Burke that's why it's so good!
lightweight philosophy. really. it works.
This guy gives off a really strong air of being a spoiled brat.

Make a video about a typical working day in the life of Seb Delanney please.
The lotus looks so much better without top or with the soft top compared to the hard top!
btw nice and informative vid seb!
Easy. English car manufacturers sure know how to build a convertible. Greetings from Italy.

not top but the soft top sucks . I love the hard top too so i would only take soft top for summer
+Alvaro Grados It looks like the soft top isn't actually waterproof, with the tiny gaps at the windows
Yoorr whaaaaaaaaat that gotta suck for real... imagine beign out and when you come back your car is full of water...

Hardtop looks really cool, Topless is next best I love my Elise S3, pure fun!
Daddy must have lots of money...lots of money to keep his little boy amused!!
or he's smarter than u and work harder than u.
as simple as that.
Which is my favorite? The Exige, any conf
If you dont mimd me asking roughly how much does the insuranse cost as im thinking about getting one
Well done in finally getting the roof off. I have a basic rule for when I drive mine - "No Rain, No Roof"..
Wonderful with no roof! Silah prob would have enjoyed hanging out in the boot of the Merc with the hatch open for this one =p
Le hard top est très sympa mais sans rien, en targa, elle est très sympa cette Lotus!
Well done Seb! :-)
I think it LOOKS best with the hard top because of the wrap. I do have to admit that come spring in Monaco, I would definitely go no top (on the car).

02:34 Where did you get that song?

Hi, how much this car cost aprox? BTW great color
The soft top is came from the original car am i right?
So they gave 1 Hard 1 Soft top with the car?

Best looking lotus ive ever seen
What is the name of your ring ?

Exhausted just watching you!
No top always!
Love your car!
As far as customisation goes, I would get someone to do the same strip/carbon style on the soft top too. Some kind of red fabric + carbon leather-kinda material.. Would be awesome ;)
Seb man, you need a black sunscreen to sort the lines out. No way i will go for the hardtop. Looks great but pita!
I like the hard top on. But it looks even better with no top.
1. Hard top, 2. No top, 3. Soft top
+Yvonnne Curtis I had an Elise with a soft top some years back and it always leaked when it rained and I live in the U.K. so that was maybe a bad choice on my side lol
you should get some red stitching on your soft top to match the lines on your hard top
Deb u need to put the strip line on the top please do a cost video I really want one I'm going to get one haha how old do u have to be
what's the title of that lalalala song?
Much easier to put the soft top back on if you just rolled it from one side to take it off, great car the Elise, great gas mileage too for a car this fast.

Hard top and no top
Why is that porsche at your house ?
it looks the best with the hardtop on and bro you need some superchargers and a exhaust XD
The car is very nice, But i would leave the hardtop on because it looks more agressive.
And when it is summer i would take the roof off. But its your car, so it is your dicission
why do you have french plate numbers?
I think he bought the car from a French lotus dealer
Yes but he keeps them..
I think it looks better without top but otherwise both tops look cool :)
Oooh the song in the background made me giggle
What is he doing for a job
I think the soft top really needs the 2 red stripes as well.
Undoing a few screws screws is not hard nor annoying...
Just my opinion...hard top for sure, I may just be picky though. Never had a car with a soft top, only cars with a sunroof (moonroof) whichever you want to call it and hardly ever even opened them. That's just my opinion though.
I like the No top super hard its so Beautiful #loveit!

It's a Lamborghini phone case
I can't believe it took you 30 minutes to remove those few screws (bolts).
I can take it off and put it back on in under 15 minutes.
He usually just has his parents hire someone to do it for him.
Canada Goose down parka on the French Riviera!
Hmm, so the leather top is easier to remove...
Did anyone notice that the description says that: lotus Elise clib racer?
clit racer
+Gregory Z oh yeah right,sorry
Open top is best!
like it with no top and soft top followed by hard top
I don't think it is retractable.
Vraiment styler
No top looks the best 👍🏻
no top is best! second hard top, and third soft top.
Use an electric drill with a torque setting.
Stitch some red stripes on the cloth top.
I need that ringtone tho
No top then hardtop then softtop
its like assembling something from ikea
How could you put stuff down on your bodywork like that. 😱
If you close your doors it sounds like a tank
Annoying start, morrrrning!!!
my favrot top is the hard one
