Description

2006 MY Lotus Elise 111R, owned from new - bought from Peter Smith Sports Cars and modded as detailed below. Never raced or tracked. Some lovely older pics can be found here: Selling as I am just not using her anymore and although it's great to have a fun car in the garage, it's just not sensible to keep if I'm not using. Otherwise, history: 02/06/2006- Peter Smith Sports Cars 10/07/2006- Peter Smith Sports Cars - 1295 miles 31/05/2007- Peter Smith Sports Cars - 8096 miles 19/06/2008- Phoenix Motorsport - 16378 miles 26/05/2009- Phoenix Motorsport - 22541 miles - Phoenix Motorsport - 29065 (from MOT) 09/07/2011- Phoenix Motorsport - 35731 miles 21/07/2012- Phoenix Motorsport - 43682 miles 02/08/2013- Phoenix Motorsport - 50626 miles 03/05/2014- Phoenix Motorsport - 52744 miles 30/07/2015- Phoenix Motorsport - 55580 miles 02/06/2016- Phoenix Motorsport - 57308 miles 18/08/2017- Phoenix Motorsport - 59269 miles 02/07/2018- Hello Dave - 59721 miles SORN 17/07/2024- Hello Dave - 60004 miles Current mileage at time of writing: 60024 miles. Upgrade list in no particular order: BOE Torque 200 tune. Lowered JRZ adjustable suspension. Light weight flywheel link (5.95kg - 4.01kg) Stiffer engine mounts, (via Olly at Phoenix Motorsports) Reverie Dayton Carbon Fibre induction kit. 2bular sports exhaust (shortened 16" x 7" muffler). HID dip beam headlights. Team Dynamics 1.2. So I can run stickier tires than standard: FEDERAL 595 RS-R Painted black bits/accents (no-longer pristine) ~15 Interior parts all carbon dipped. Air vents anulus' and centre console painted matching Canyon Red. Engine Cover painted (but no-longer pristine). EliseParts upgraded resistor box (fans/vents) - but see below. Rebuilt gearbox and replaced clutch in mid 2015 at c. 55k miles. Moto Build front splitter. Upgraded stereo (Sony CDX-GT650UI) with upgraded aerial. Tracker fitted but not used. Multivex Curved wing mirrors (increase visibility) Private plate (L7YSE) Issues: None other than the fan seems to have stopped working. (Upgraded EliseParts resistor pack was fitted and the Lotus approved chassis mod applied post purchase). I've reduced the price (fairly I think) to account for this. Re. Performance; the air intake, exhaust, light weight flywheel and BOE tune has made it more "furious" than standard and is more linear but is more about character than a huge increase in speed.
