Extensive mechanical refresh carried out earlier this year by specialist Steve Williams Sports Cars
History file with servicing records, MOT certificates, tax discs, and receipts
The Appeal
The Lotus Elise remains one of the ultimate expressions of Lotus's featherweight philosophy, and to this day is one of the most engaging driver's cars of its generation. Finished in pearlescent Norfolk Mustard, this example has covered fewer than 30,000 miles and has been in the hands of just two registered keepers since it was purchased new from Murray Motor Company in Edinburgh.
The current vendor, who has owned twelve S1 Elises over the years, acquired the car in 2021 and has kept it garaged and carefully maintained. Earlier this year, it was entrusted to Steve Williams Sports Cars in Maidenhead for a thorough mechanical refresh encompassing a complete suspension overhaul, new brake pipes, CV boots, cam belt, and a full C service to Lotus specification.
The vendor reports that the car drives well, cornering sharply and in fine health. The interior features black leather that presents well for its age, and a history file accompanies the car. This is a carefully kept S1 Elise that appears ready to reward its next keeper.IMG_2597 Iain Thomas.jpeg4.73 MB
