2001 LOTUS ELISE

Honestly, I don't want to sell this car. However, I need to scratch another itch and I just can't make the finances work to keep it. This car excites and scares me every time I'm in it and is a fantastic example of a Calypso Red, Lotus Elise S2 (K-Series, Race Tech) with a deep induction and lovely, burbley exhaust.

This Elise has been regularly used, meticulously looked after (Competition winner - Best in Class & Sponsors Choice), twice yearly serviced, regardless of mileage, and has never let me down.

It has been my weekend, dry weather only toy for 3.5 years and during that time I have upgraded many components, whether due to age or just because I wanted peace of mind - never because something broke. All personal modifications can be reversed if required as I kept all original parts. Always covered and garaged when not used.

Car was on 19,000 miles when I purchased it 3.5 years ago and is now at 32,100. During my ownership it has covered probably 200 miles of track use and completed multiple European trips across to France and Germany. All without any issues whatsoever, a testament to the level of year round attention I provide it.
