This well maintained Elise has been looked after us since 2015 and comes with an extensive service history. Although the car is only showing 19,772 miles, the speedometer was changed at 79,266 mile and the true mileage is 98,988 miles. A new engine, supplied by Lotus, was fitted approximately 35,000 miles ago.
The car is attractively priced, and takes account of the higher mileage and some small paint defects (these don't show up in the photos). It will be serviced before sale and have a new MOT. We'll also replace the resistor pack for the heater blower fan which has failed (a common fault on this age of Elise).

Additional Information
The Lotus Elise is one of the most significant British sports cars of the modern era. Introduced in 1996, it marked a turning point for Lotus, debuting a pioneering bonded aluminium chassis that redefined lightweight construction. Initially weighing little more than 700kg, the Elise delivered exceptional agility and poise, staying true to the company’s founding principle: performance through lightness.
Its elegant, minimalist form echoed this ethos, with every line serving purpose as much as style. Power came from a range of compact, efficient engines, chosen not for brute force, but for their harmony with the finely tuned chassis. The result was a car that offered unmatched steering feel, balance, handling and connection to the road.
The Lotus Elise S, which was launched in 2006, has a Toyota 1ZZ engine producing around 134 bhp and this combines with a 5 speed gearbox. It provides a fun and very useable road car, great for a Sunday morning blast around the local lanes or enjoying for the longer weekends away.
