⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Tipping the scales at just 725 kg, the Elise doesn't require a great deal of power to get going.

Built on an aluminium chassis with a fibreglass body, the Elise was designed to keep both weight and production costs low. Production began in 1996, with early cars featuring a Rover K-series 1.8-litre engine producing around 118 bhp. That may not sound like much, but with a kerb weight of just 725 kg, it's enough to propel the Elise from 0-60 mph in approximately 5.8 seconds — and it's exceptionally nimble too.

This particular car is a 1998 S1 and has been with our vendor for approximately 12.5 years, and fewer than 2,000 miles have been covered in that time. It is accompanied by a collection of invoices and MOT certificates, and it has a current MOT valid until 29.04.2026. The current owner has brought the car up to a lovely standard, and maintained as needed with £6,400 spent on parts and then additional spend on servicing etc. Presented in a smart silver over black colourway, this is a no nonsense sports car that is begging to have its legs stretched.
