Description

A rare, highly collectable example of the legendary K-Series Elise S1. One of just 92 original factory models built in the iconic Gold Leaf racing livery (Calypso Red over Monaco White with gold stripes and matching gold 111S alloy wheels). First Registered: March 2000 Mileage: 41,176 miles Owners: 4 previous keepers (Previous owner from 2005-2023; current family owned since). Documentation: Comprehensive history folder, original service pack, handbook, and instructions. Service & Maintenance History: - Early History: 6 service stamps up to 2005. - 2005-2023: Evidence of major servicing, including replacement belts and water pumps in 2008, 2013, and 2020. -Recent Major Service (Phoenix Motorsport): Over 3,000 spent on a full 'C' service, issues rectified, new AD08R tyres, S2 Bilstein suspension upgrade, new toe links, and a full geometry setup. - Recent Minor Service (Oakmere): 'B' service plus a new radiator installed. - Additional Work (Phoenix Motorsport): New coolant tank, tow bar, refreshed black grilles, re-sealed headlight covers, and new window rubbers. The rear gold stripe was also professionally painted on to replace the tired original sticker. -Elise Parts cold air intake (fantastic sound). - Lightly recommissioned seats with re-glued fabric, new foam padding, and inflatable cushion. - New carpets installed in footwell. Condition Report: - Exterior: Very good overall paint condition with no osmosis. Usual minor front stone chips, a few small scuffs, and minor lacquer peel underneath the sill (not visible unless looking under the car). - Wheels: Original gold 111S alloys are functional but require a refurbishment. - Interior: Driver's side bolster and sill cover show very light wear. Footwell has typical surface oxidation (common due to original rubber mats), now covered by new carpets. - Mechanical/Other: Fuel cap mechanism functions and locks fine, but the seal needs replacing. Sale Terms: The car will be sold with a fresh service and a brand-new MOT completed prior to handover. A reluctant sale of a stunning, highly engaging driver's car that receives endless positive attention. Full advert also on Car and Classic with a bit more detail!
