Description
Classic Car Design offers you this Lotus Elise S1, the first, the purest! And even rarer, in its 111S version, with an extra 25hp over the basic version and a cut-out at 7200 rpm! This LHD conversion is in excellent condition, having benefited from regular maintenance (invoice file since new) as well as a recent, thorough overhaul with a few reliability enhancements.
On the outside, apart from the rear sticker, the 111S is easily recognizable by its bubble headlights, rear spoiler, raised hood and wider rear fenders covering specific 6-spoke OZ wheels. The bodywork is superb, with virtually no flaws. The rims are like new. The soft top is in very good condition, with only minor signs of wear.
Inside, the beige leather upholstery, which perfectly matches the dark blue exterior, is in very good condition, with only minor signs of use. The dashboard is perfect, with its carbon-style trim. The rest is aluminum, just hidden by the new custom-made carpets.
Mechanically, we find the 4-cylinder Rover K-series 1. 8L 16-valve engine, but this time with VVC camshafts. This engine is in top form, having benefited this year from a cylinder head overhaul, an improved cooling system and an overhauled injection system. The rest of the powertrain, including brakes and running gear, is in top form, having been overhauled over the last 5, 000 km...
So here's a Lotus Elise 111S that's out of the ordinary, superb and with a great track record. The list of recent work is long, available and accompanied by photos showing the extent of the work. It's not just a collector's item, it's one to be used, as this type of "real" sports car is becoming increasingly rare these days...
