2000 LOTUS ELISE

A rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage, unmolested, one owner 340R. This is number 324 of 340 and is one of the 171 original UK market cars. In the possession of a single owner since supplied new by Bell & Colville in July 2000 and serviced by them throughout.

Specified with the highly desirable 190bhp VHPD pack and the rare, lighter titanium exhaust, oil cooler, and the optional engraved fire extinguisher.

The car comes with an additional set of Elise road wheels with ‘brand new’ unused Pirelli tyres (but dated 2000…) as well as the original magnesium alloys which are fitted with a good set of Avon ZZS track tyres (6mm but dated 2018).

Overall, the car is in lovely condition with all the original spoilers, seats and steering wheel in place. The blue Alcantara trim is still in good condition with no ‘polished’ areas. Exterior paint looks to be all original with no marks to the silver/ blue metallic and only the occasional minor stone chip to the black sections. The full aluminium undertrays are all present and undamaged.

Currently the car has the catalytic converter fitted for its MoT together with a standard 340R/ Exige ‘177’ ECU as the ‘190’ one won’t easily pass emissions. In the past B&C always switched the ECU for one of their own at MOT time so we have sourced an original 177 ECU for the car in order that any MOT station can keep the car legal going forwards. The decat pipe that forms part of the 190 package together with both ECU’s come with the car.

Lots more photos are available on our website together with copies of all the documentation.
