2003 LOTUS ELISE

Very low miles. Stunning colour combination. Extensive service history.

This 2003 Lotus Elise Series 2, finished in a striking colour way with matching interior accents, captures the essence of lightweight British sports car engineering. Launched in 2001, the Series 2 refined the original formula with a bonded aluminium chassis and composite bodywork for outstanding rigidity and featherweight agility, while the mid mounted 1796cc Rover K Series engine paired to a crisp 5 speed manual delivers vivid performance, low running costs and wonderfully direct steering feel.

With just 23,207 miles from 2003 and only gentle use since, this car looks, feels and drives exactly as an enthusiast would hope, taut and communicative.
