Someone earlier made the comment about the older Elises having a Rover motor.
The Elises manufactured for the UK and Europe still have the Rover motor. The Toyota motor was installed in the Elise for the US market so it could pass emissions requirements and thereby be imported into the US as a street car.
Prior to that all the Elises in the US were strictly for track use and I'm quite positive they were never brought out on the road! Yeah, right!!!
