Original factory "BIG AERO" Lotus Elise 220 Cup. One of the most sought-after and focused variants of the Elise range. With Lotus no longer producing the Elise, well-specified Cup cars like this are becoming increasingly desirable among enthusiasts. - 2015 Lotus Elise 220 CUP - Hard top fitted - (SOFT TOP AVAILABLE AS AN OPTIONAL EXTRA) - Lightweight, track-focused Cup model chassis and setup - RRR intake system - enhances induction character and response - Full 2bular exhaust system - widely regarded as the ideal Elise upgrade, offering a more purposeful tone without excessive noise - Lightweight forged '250 Cup' wheels - Nearly new Nankang NS2R tyres - a popular choice for fast road and track driving Owned since August 2021 (at approximately 23,000 miles). The car has been kept garaged during ownership. The Elise 220 Cup delivers an exceptionally pure driving experience. Lightweight, communicative, and genuinely engaging at any speed. This example has been carefully maintained and subtly enhanced to improve the overall driving experience while retaining the character and integrity of the original car. The combination of factory big aero, forged wheels, and well-judged upgrades makes this a particularly complete and desirable example. Condition: Presented very well overall and clearly cared for. As expected for a lightweight, road-focused sports car. The car remains very presentable and has not been subjected to any poor repairs or cosmetic shortcuts. Service History: The car has been maintained throughout its life with a combination of specialist and independent servicing. Due to low annual mileage, servicing has been carried out on a usage basis rather than strictly time-based intervals. While not a fully stamped main dealer history, it has clearly been looked after as an enthusiast-owned example and drives exactly as it should. Rarity & Appeal: Early Cup cars with the full factory aero package are widely regarded as some of the most desirable Elise variants. Finding an original big aero car with this mileage and specification is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly in such well-maintained condition. A genuinely well-sorted Elise 220 Cup - ideal for both spirited road driving and occasional track use, and equally appealing to enthusiasts seeking a high-quality example of this now discontinued model.
