Description
For sale is my silver 1999 Lotus Elise S1 111s first registered in October 1999 with just 27, 300 miles, only two previous owners on the V5 and a full-service history.
The car has been well maintained and cared for, with no track use. I bought it last May and have only put on less than 1, 000 miles since then. Its last service was a C service at Bell & Colvill in June 2024. It's also had 4 new Yokohama Advan Neova tyres.
This is the third S1 Elise I've owned and this is by far the best variant in its 111s form. I'm reluctantly selling as I've accepted I prefer the comfort of my Emira and so the Elise isn't going to get the use I hoped for.
If you're looking at this listing you may already be aware that the 111s was a more powerful variant to the standard version S1 Elise with a Variable Valve Control ('VVC') engine delivering a 25bhp increase in power (to 143 bhp), a quicker 0-60 (to 5. 4 sec), wider wheels, bubble headlight covers and a slightly extended spoiler.
This is a really tidy example of a stunning model that has been well cared for and maintained throughout its life. The car comes with a comprehensive folder with all the relevant documents from the original purchase date.
The car comes with / has:
• Original Lotus user guide and service booklet
• Full set of keys and Cobra alarm fobs
• Full-service history and receipts for all work carried out.
• Full MoT history - with current MoT running to 30th May 2025
• The Lotus Certificate of Conformity is also present for any EU/ USA perspective buyers. (Now this is 25 years old export to the US becomes much easier.)
• OEM silver Lotus hardtop (excellent condition)
• OEM black soft top (excellent condition)
• Matching silver roll bar cover
• Focal speakers and Sony Bluetooth/ DAB stereo system with removable front (installed new in 2024)
• 2bular straight-thru exhaust for a less 'droney' sound
