Franklins Sports and Classics specialise in the sales and service of Lotus Elise S1 & S2 variants and are delighted to offer this 2001 Lotus Elise S2 'Long Roof' finished in ardent red over black half hide interior. Only 46,500 miles with a comprehensive service history. Originally supplied by Ribble Valley Lotus on the 1st September 2001 this Elise S2 long roof is in genuinely exceptional condition. The ardent red paintwork is in fine order with a deep gloss finish whilst the fibreglass is free from crazing, osmosis or star cracks. The black soft is immaculate, fits snuggly and operates perfectly whilst the interior is in equally fine order with blemish free dashtop, an unworn steering wheel and leather seats that remain stain and mark free. Likewise the alloy wheels are in very good condition and are wrapped in a matching set of Yokohama advan sport tyres with plenty of tread remaining. This Elise has some sensible, and sought after, performance upgrades including a pipercross induction kit allowing the engine to breath a little easier whilst the sports exhaust adds some much need aural drama when "pressing on", whilst remaining perfectly agreeable when cruising. To help keep things cool the car was recently fitted with an upgraded hifo aluminium radiator (and a new fan) at South West Lotus, whilst music lovers will enjoy the upgraded stereo. Externally there is full set of satin black body stripes which have been fitted perfectly and a front splitter adding some aggression to the front end. The cars service history boasts an excellent array of stamps in the book from Lotus dealers up until 2009 at which time a long term custodian purchased the car (21/08/2009 - 25/02/2022) and self serviced the car. The last owner purchased the car from The Cotswold Motor Company on the 25/02/2022 at which time the car was sent to Williams Lotus for a major F Service including all fluids cambelt and since then the car has been maintained by Lotus Gurus South West Lotus. We have just carried out a full inspection and Bradley our Lotus Tech has serviced the car so it is ready to be used and enjoyed by the next owner. Upon sale a new MOT will be placed on the car. Supplied with both keys and original book pack, the car comes supplied with a Motor Check certificate confirming the car is HPI clear and the milage verified. The Lotus Elise is a fantastic fun drivers' car with sublime handling and we have no doubt it will delight its next owner.
