This Lotus Elise S2 135R is a rare special-edition variant of the lauded lightweight sports car, developed by Lotus Sport and Performance in conjunction with the Lotus Ride and Handling team, which is offered with low mileage from new. Build number 6 of approximately 100 produced, it would benefit from a routine service given the time elapsed since its last, but once completed, it would make an ideal addition to any collection, and a perfect companion for spirited B-road driving.
