2001 LOTUS ELISE

This is a fantastic example of a Calypso Red, Lotus Elise S2 (K-Series, Race Tech) with a deep induction and lovely, burbley exhaust. If I could keep it I would, and I'Il be sorry to see it go, but I have another itch I need to scratch.

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 dry weather only, weekend toy for nearly 5 years and during that time I have upgraded many components. All personal modifications can be reversed if required as I kept all original parts.

Car is always covered and garaged when not used. Car was on 19,000 miles when I purchased it and is now approaching 34,000. During my ownership it has 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.

In the last 3 months as part of my routine service, and in keeping with Lotus maintenance schedules, the car has had:

New cambelt, water pump and tensioner

New engine oil

New spark plugs

New coolant

New brake/ clutch fluid

New Brembo pads + discs

New gearbox oil

New Nankang NS-2R tyres

Emerald ECU (Increased BHP from standard 120 to 145)

Intake manifold with trophy 160 throttle body

This really is a stunning example.
