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.

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.
