Lotus Elise S2 Type 49 – Limited Edition
37, 000 Miles | Number 7 of Just 40 UK Cars | Certificate of Provenance
We are delighted to offer this exceptionally rare Lotus Elise S2 Type 49, finished in the iconic Ardent Red and Old English White colour scheme, paying tribute to Lotus's legendary Formula One racing heritage.
Produced on 10th October 2002, this particular example is number 7 of just 40 UK cars, as confirmed by its Lotus Certificate of Provenance, making it a particularly desirable example of this limited-edition model.
Having covered just 37, 000 miles with five owners, this Type 49 presents a fantastic opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Lotus history.
The striking Ardent Red and Old English White exterior is complemented by the traditional gold dividing stripe, capturing the spirit of the famous Lotus Type 49 Formula One car. The interior features Scarlet Red trim with perforated leather upholstery, creating a wonderfully period-correct, motorsport-inspired cabin. A contrasting blue soft top completes the specification.
Based on the Series 2 Elise, the Type 49 benefits from Lotus's renowned lightweight aluminium chassis and mid-mounted 1. 8-litre Rover K-Series engine, producing approximately 120 bhp. With its precise steering, exceptional handling and lightweight construction, the Elise continues to offer one of the purest driving experiences available.
