2001 LOTUS ELISE

Available for sale is my Lotus Elise S2 which I have owned since 2016. It has been exceptionally well looked after.

There have been three modifications, all made by the previous owners. The most obvious is the gull wing roof which is a rarity and comprises of two panels that are easily detached and stored in pouches in the boot. The car is thus able to alternate between a perfect open top or hard top with ease, giving the best of both worlds and removing the hassle of the soft top and inconvenience of a permanent hard top. I can't stress enough how useful this has been. Lotus originally designed the car in this way which is how it appears in the showroom brochure (of which I have a copy and is included) but abandoned these plans at the last minute. The car's original soft top roof and accompanying panel will be included even though it is redundant. I arranged for the underside of the gull wing panels to be professionally painted myself and they look fantastic but the underside of the T-Bar was left because the person who painted the panels deemed it too difficult to paint to the same standard. It's not important but could be a project that someone would like to undertake in the future if they felt necessary.

The other two modifications are a Hurricane Induction Kit and a Power Boost Valve.

The car is in immaculate condition with virtually no issues to speak of other than some very minor ones, such as the heater dial has become rather stiff to move, and in very heavy rain there will be some minor leakage at the edge of the roof panels so the car should be stored in a garage rather than permanently outdoors.

Around the time of the pandemic my circumstances changed and since then I have only been averaging around 650 miles per year in the car. This together with the fact that I require my garage for other purposes means that now is the time to finally sell.

I would like to have the car serviced once more before selling and also replace the two front tyres which are close to the legal limit and will endeavour to get this done in the next couple of weeks.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
