1999 LOTUS ELISE

For sale is my 1999 Lotus Elise S1 in Azure Blue. The car comes with a full service history and large folder of receipts and invoices including the original bill of sale, leather handbook and certificate of conformity from Lotus. It is currently on just under 69,000 miles but this will continue to rise as I use the car to commute to work. The car has been registered ULEZ compliant with TfL and has an MOT until June 2026.

The car benefits from the following upgrades and recent work:

Upgraded alloy radiator

Upgraded tow eye post

Nitron fast road adjustable dampers

Hurricane induction kit

PowerAcoustik touchscreen head unit with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

Compact subwoofer

Fully carpeted interior

Carbon fibre door cards

Suede seats and sill covers

Lotus sill protectors

Leather soft top bag

EliseParts shower cap

EliseParts Sport 160 style spoiler

Clear front indicators and side repeaters

Corner weighted full geo at 725kg

Battery isolator

52mm throttle body

Braided brake hoses

ULEZ compliance registered with TfL so can be driven into Greater London free of charge

Refurbished horn surround

Recent front suspension refresh

Recent new alternator- the original Magneti Marelli unit will come with the car

Recently refurbished alloys in dark silver

Recent Yokohama Advan A048 tyres all round with lots of tread

Recent head gasket replacement in 2022 by MG Rover Solutions

Timing belt and tensioner replaced in February 2025

Last serviced in June 2025

As with most modern classics there are a few minor bad bits:

Chip in passenger side of windscreen (filled and been there over 10 years, not an issue for MOT)

Some micro blistering on the rear spoiler

Minor paint osmosis on the front bonnet

One of the dash top air vents is missing a fin

A couple of age related marks and stone chips but better than you’d expect for a 26 year old car.

Both a cat replacement pipe and original catalytic converter will come with the car and the new owner can choose which is fitted at the point of sale.

This is a truly fantastic car that I will no doubt regret selling. A recent new arrival to the family means I need something with more seats.
