2010 LOTUS ELISE

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Wheeler Dealer Live 2025 on Sunday the 1st of June, Bicester Motion, OX26 5HA.

Lightness, responsiveness and manoeuvrability were the watchwords guiding the Elise project. A benchmark in the world of 'Light is right' was born. A fibreglass body on an epoxy-bonded aluminium chassis, a four-cylinder engine in a central rear position, a spartan yet comfortable interior - all for the benefit of driving sensations, even more than for pure performance

2001 saw the launch of the second-generation Elise. Slightly heavier at 710kg, it offered a more qualitative presentation to appeal to a wider customer base and from 2004, the S2 adopted the new Toyota 1.8-litre 2ZZ-GE naturally-aspirated, four-cylinder offering 134bhp and 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds

Dating from 2010, this striking S2 1.8S is presented in Ardent Red with a black, lift-out roof panel and black wheels

It's finished in 'Touring' specification which included extra sound insulation, full carpet, electric windows and other creature comforts making this B-road blaster a bit more GT

Mostly serviced at Lotus Silverstone with some specialist stamps with the most recent being on 24/6/2024 at 27,490 miles

Our vendor has recently enjoyed this little Lotus on a continental tour for which it proved remarkably suitable
