YouTuber's Lotus Elise Recovered By Police After Armed Car Jacking
It was only a few hours ago that we reported YouTuber Seb Delanney’s car jacking in Paris, but already the car has been found. The 19-year-old posted on Instagram to deliver the news that the distinctive matte black Elise Club Racer was recovered not long ago, and is currently with police.
Not long before, the car had been spotted at a petrol station in Villiers-le-Bel, just north of Paris. Describing 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.”
The condition of the car is currently unknown, however Delanney and his passenger escaped the car jacking ordeal uninjured.
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.

If he would have had a Disklok he would have been fine.
plot twist: they wanted the wrapping vinyl
It’s great to see he’s got the car back, the power of social media is crazy! It was however very sad to see a big number of people saying it’s fake or that it’s a good job it’s got stolen, not everyone has the money to go out and buy a supercar and it’s still a huge achievement for a 19yr old to have made the sort of money needed to buy a car like this without finance! :D
Good that he got it back
That has got to be scary. But at least the cops caught the guy and the car was not damaged in any way
Is it bad if I didn’t know his car was stolen?
In all honesty, im just very glad he didn’t lose his life. Very fortunate!!
That jacker was a straight savage
I can’t imagine how I would fee to have my lotus taken from me. Crazy!!!
Im sure mafia ordered the car to be stolen, thats why i make sure everytime i see a sportscar to censor the number plate, so the thiefs dorsnt know what car, i cut the image too and do closeups, so they dont know where it was
