Description
This is an absolutely lovely example of the fantastic Lotus Elise 16V (Toyota 1ZR-FRE engine), which is loaded with optional extras, giving it a superb specification.
The car has the Touring Pack, the Sport Pack, the Black Style Pack, and Air Conditioning. When new these optional extras cost over five thousand pounds extra.
Originally purchased from Bell and Colville (Surrey), the car has had three previous owners from new and I have owned the car for two and a half years; the previous owner who also bought it from Bell and Colville owned it since May 2014.
Finished in Lotus Solid Ardent Red, with Black leather Trim and with optional red finished Proback sports seats and optional accented door cards the car is really stunning. It also has the desirable but optional black Y-Type 5 spoked forged wheels, which are all in excellent condition with excellent Yokohoma Advan tyres all round. Original Alpine stereo. As can be seen in the photos the body condition is also excellent.
The car comes with an excellent service history and MOT until February 2026. There are nine stamps in the service book and I recently (June 2025) had the Elise serviced at Lakeside Engineering, a Lotus specialist in Surrey. Tim, the owner of Lakeside commented on what a lovely car it was and that it is in great condition.
Two genuine Lotus keys, owners manual, and history file.
This is an excellent car that will be greatly missed.
