Description
2003 Lotus Elise 135R. (build No. 014). Rotrex Supercharger 265bhp! Staggeringly quick example!
This car was completely rebuilt by Hanger 111 at the end of 2022 at a cost of £19, 680 (not including the car).
Silver bodywork in very good condition. OZ racing wheels with Toyo R888R's fitted new earlier this year. Second set of Team Dynamics wheels and tyres available for £500.
Being a farmer I have simply not had time to enjoy the car as I intended. Hence only covering less than 2000 miles in it! It has been a bit of a project which I have really enjoyed but now need to move onto something else. The car owes me around £40, 000! I have invoices showing over £26, 000. Both from Hanger 111 and South West Lotus Centre.
MOT till 12/ 03/ 2026. No advisories last MOT.

Would make a great track day car or sprint / hillclimb car. I have done a few events with it and been very successful. Comes with harness bar and new Willans bespoke 4 point harness.
The Cobra immobiliser and alarm was disconnected by a previous owner but all of the components are present if wished to be re installed.
I have included as much information but have no doubt missed something so feel free to fire any questions at me.
