The Appeal
The Lotus Elise K series represents the purest expression of Colin Chapman's "simplify, then add lightness" philosophy. The first-generation Elise was a masterpiece of the rational, with its responsive 1.8-litre Rover K-series engine delivers an engaging driving experience on a featherweight kerb weight of only 725kg - meeting a blistering top speed of 126mph, and in a car so close to the ground it felt practically unmatched.
This particular 2002 example stands out for its remarkably low mileage of just 11,018 miles and comprehensive maintenance history. Having been meticulously cared for throughout its life with consistent dry storage and garaging, this is a great ambassador for the House of Hethel and will no doubt impress the lucky buyer.
