2004 LOTUS ELISE

Here is my Lotus Elise S2 111R in Arctic Silver with red leather seats and carpets. Black powder coated original alloys complete the eye-catching appearance. It has the full touring pack¬age including electric windows and is a non-A/C model. Odometer reading just 38900.

There is a comprehensive history file (mostly Lotus) and no mechanical issues whatsoever. Garaged and dry weather use during my 6 years ownership, with the overall condition reflecting a lifetime of similar care. An interior cover as well as a waterproof cover will be included.

During the last 6 years (3100 miles) of my ownership the car has benefited from:

- New rear discs and pads

- New exhaust heat shields

- Recent new Yuasa heavy-duty battery

The previous owner arranged the following during 4 years of ownership:

- New Advan AD07 LTS tyres

- New front discs and pads

- New thermostat

- New towing eye

- New radiator fan and upgraded mounting brackets

- Original alloys professionally refurbished and powder coated with colour change to black

- Replacement ball joints on the front

Also, the previous owner made some sensible upgrades that improved and added to the character of the car:

- Hangar111 Exhaust (original to be supplied with the car)

- K&N Hurricane Induction Kit (original to be supplied with the car)

- Toyota Exedy Organic Clutch (much more positive engagement but not heavy)

- Redline MT90 Gear Oil

- Pioneer bluetooth head unit (original to be supplied with the car)

He also replaced the spotlight grille with a plain one, preferring the look. I have refitted the spotlight grille (the plain one will be supplied with the car).

The car is supplied with two keys and remotes, two Lotus service log books and comprehensive pa¬perwork dating back to the receipt of sale. The MOT and last service was carried out 29 March 2026 by Oakmere Lotus. All electrics on the car work with the exception of the heater fan position 3, which I had never used but was discovered not active at a service and recorded on the invoice.

Unusually, in addition to the original black soft top, this Elise has 2 other roof options, a colour matched Arctic Silver hardtop with a new headlining fitted by a retired Rolls Royce upholsterer and a red soft top to match the interior. All have individual storage bags/covers. It should be recognised these are valuable and rare options which complement the car.

I have cherished this car from day one delighting in the performance from the 189 bhp vvt engine, the brilliant handling and just the total pleasure of ownership, however at 76yrs I must now face reality and hand over for someone else to enjoy. The new owner will be a driving enthusiast looking for tactile road feel and raw performance rather than modern gadgetry.

All round a very good example for its age. Payment will be by bank transfer.
