2000 LOTUS ELISE

For sale is my Series 1 Lotus Elise, finished in Spice Yellow (B38) with a green leather interior and matching green canvas roof. Supplied new by Kings Lotus of Worcester.

This S1 is a genuinely lovely example, with 29,900 miles from new. (This will rise slightly due to still being used).

In my ownership, I’ve carried out a small re-fresh of the suspension and given the car a good detail.

The paintwork is in excellent condition, which has machine polished very nicely. There is absolutely no osmosis and very little stone chipping to the front clam. One of the nicest S1’s I’ve seen for bodywork in a while.

The chassis is also in lovely condition and is like brand new. I’ve detailed all of this with the wheel arch liners out. All the rust prone bobbins are still black and have been protected with ACF50 regularly.

Brand new Yokohama AD08RS’s fitted in 2023 at 26,500 miles and have plenty of tread left on them. It’s also had a new aluminium radiator fitted at the same time.

In 2024, new Bilstein shock absorbers and Eibach springs were fitted along with drop links, track rod ends and rear toe link assemblies. This was followed up with a full wheel alignment carried out by Allon White Sports Cars.

Front discs and pads have also been replaced fairly recently.

The interior is finished in green leather with matching sill protectors and green ‘Elise’ mats. The seats have been cleaned up with Gliptone leather products and are in fantastic condition, which have recently had the brushed nylon material at the rear of the seat replaced by Allon White. The steering wheel leather is also in great condition and has been improved with a new centre crash pad.

The footwells, aluminium tub and sill protectors show little wear. The original fit green Elise mats are in excellent condition. The door cards have also been replaced with new old stock Lotus items and really finish the interior off.

This year I’ve had a full D service carried out by Allon White. This included a new gates cambelt, tensioner, water pump, thermostat housing, plugs, leads, coolant and gearbox oil changed as part of the service. I’ve also had the downpipe replaced as the flexi section had started showing signs of wear.

This is one of the nicest, ready to use S1’s on the market.

I’m happy to answer any questions and arrange viewings to appreciate this cars great condition. I’ll be sad to see the car go, but a recent purchase forces the sale.
