As you can see the car has been clearly loved.

The car drives superbly and handles beautifully. The bodywork is in fine condition and looks fantastic having a deep gloss finish and is free from osmosis whilst the blue soft top fits snuggly and operates perfectly.

The interior is in equally fine order with blemish free plastics, an unworn steering wheel and seats that remain stain free.

Supplied with both keys, original book pack, original service book, a huge file full of invoices and old MOT certificates dating back to 2000.

A Motor Check certificate is also supplied confirming the car is HPI clear and the mileage verified.

In summary a lovely, original early build Elise with a fantastic service history at a very sensible price point which is ready to be used and enjoyed.
