Description
We are delighted to present a very rare example of the Lotus Elise SC, the Type 25 Jim Clark Edition. Jim Clark won the F1 World Championship twice for Team Lotus in 1963 and in 1965. In total, he won 25 Grand Prix races and was the first Briton to win the Indianapolis 500. In tribute to Jim Clarks achievements, Lotus, in association with Classic Team Lotus produced the Clark Type 25 Elise SC. This Elise, was initially limited to just 25 cars in the UK. After huge demand a further 25 cars in the mainland European market also followed.
The Clark Type 25 Elise SC draws upon many styling cues from the Type 25 Formula 1 car that Jim Clark raced to win the World Championship in 1963.
The car, with a removable hard top as standard, is finished in British Racing Green with a Yellow stripe along the centre and features high performance Lotus Sport wheels, finished in an historic black and silver design.
The interior is inspired by the Team Lotus Formula 1 cars of the era, with black leather sports seats, trimmed with red leather and all finished off with a retro wooden gear knob.
This Elise SC offers stunning performance, power comes from a 1. 8 litre non-intercooled, supercharged engine and uses intelligent cam switching technology, enabling the engine to switch to the high performance cam anywhere between 4000 and 6200 rpm.
This clever feature gives the engine two characters, allowing the car to be driven economically or giving maximum performance for spirited driving.
The chassis has a seriously light, stiff structure. Combining this technology with the fantastic Lotus ride and handling gives an inspiring driving experience and the mid-engined layout of the Lotus Elise offers fantastic balance and agility.
This great machine has the original book pack including service book and two keys.
The service history reads as you would hope with 8 stamps from Lotus and specialists. The car was kept in dry storage between mid 2016 to October 2019 and was last serviced at 41, 762 miles in October 2019. The car has only travelled 220 miles since then!
Before its next owner takes delivery we will service the car and put a fresh MOT on the vehicle.
