1998 LOTUS ELISE

We are thrilled to offer this remarkable 1998 Lotus Elise 1.8, a standout example of the iconic S1 model.

With just 8,231 miles on the clock and only two previous owners, this Elise is a rare find that combines low mileage with exceptional condition. Finished in a striking colour combination, it showcases the timeless design and lightweight engineering that have made the Elise a beloved classic among enthusiasts. The Elise S1, introduced in 1996, was designed with a focus on lightness and agility, following the philosophy of Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus.

Weighing approximately 714 kg, the Elise delivers a pure and engaging driving experience, powered by a 1.8-litre inline-four engine producing 118 bhp. This powertrain enables acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds, ensuring a thrilling ride every time.

The mid-mounted engine and rear-wheel-drive layout provide exceptional handling and balance, making it a joy to drive on both twisty roads and open highways. This particular example has been meticulously maintained, with a comprehensive service history including full dealership records. The next service is due in September 2025, and the MOT is valid until April 2026, offering peace of mind for the next owner. Whether you’re an enthusiast looking to add to your collection or someone seeking a pure driving experience, this Lotus Elise 1.8 is an opportunity not to be missed.
