2004 LOTUS ELISE

2004 Lotus Elise 111R (Touring Spec) – Magnetic Blue – 87k Miles – Exceptional History

Welcome to the sale of my 2004 Lotus Elise 111R, finished in the highly desirable Magnetic Blue. She has been garaged for most of her life, and the paintwork remains in fantastic condition with no blemishes.

The 111R builds on the success of the 111S but notably features the brilliant 2ZZ 1.8-litre Toyota VVTL-i engine. This example is fitted with a Lotus sports exhaust and a Lotus motorsport-tuned ECU, providing a fantastic soundtrack that matches the car perfectly. Once you pass 5750 rpm, the noise is truly addictive!

A/C & Touring Pack.

Full leather interior, Rare Zipp InoKinetic glove box

Comes complete with a fully lined soft top and a colour-coded hard top.

Suede OMP 'D' steering wheel (the original wheel will be included in the sale).

Mechanically, the car is extremely sound, having covered 87k miles from new. Any required work has been carried out regardless of cost. The last two specialists to look after the car (Scott Russell Sports Cars & HPE Automotive) both positively commented on its exceptional overall condition.

Crucially for a 111R, some common weak points have been fully addressed:

Gearbox: Full gearbox rebuild (3rd-4th synchro) and new clutch in 02/2015.

Suspension: Full OEM spec shock replacement (10/2018), full geo setup (07/2024), and a full set of brand-new ball joints (01/2026).

Presented with a comprehensive, highly detailed history file that documents the mileage and ownership. The car has 6 previous owners, with notable enthusiast history: Owner #3 was Mark Roberts (responsible for the hand-drawn McLaren F1 owner's manual), and Owner #4 was an engineer for Force India F1 and Mercedes F1.
