This YouTuber Had His Lotus Elise Stolen At Gunpoint In Paris
Having a car stolen is one of a petrolhead’s biggest fears, and the terror of having your ride taken at gunpoint isn’t something we’d even want to contemplate. Sadly that’s what’s happened to Seb Delanney, a 19-year-old YouTuber from Monaco well known for collaborations with the likes of Shmee150 and Seen Through Glass.
Speaking about the incident on Snapchat this morning, Delanney said “last night my car was stolen. Myself and my friend Josh were held at gunpoint and had to run with a guy pointing a gun at us through Paris.”
Fortunately, Seb’s Elise Cup Racer is particularly distinctive thanks to a matte black finish with red accents, which greatly helps the chance of it being spotted. Make sure you keep an eye out!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

faith in humanity restored after hearing it’s found gg theif gg.
Why was the Lotus the one that was taken? From the info I know, he was with Paul Wallace, Sam STG, and MRJWW. Why not take the F-Type, AMG GTS, or the F12???
Because Seb was in Paris at the time…
He’s already got it back….
My uncle in Brazil was car jacked at gunpoint a few months ago. His car was I think a 2013 or 2012 Civic though.
And he came out fine, just without a car. But now he has a Chevy Cruze, I think it’s fully loaded or almost fully loaded, too.
I hate the term “Had his” when it comes to something bad that had happened. It makes it sound like the dude hired some guy to steal his car.
