The Appeal
If only he'd lived to see it, we think Lotus founder Colin Chapman would have been very proud of the Elise. Simple, light and devastatingly quick, the Elise remains one of the most highly regarded "driver's cars" money can buy. Early Series 1 examples are highly sought-after and we're delighted to present this smart and well-sorted example from 2000.
Accompanied by copious service history and benefitting from recent significant work, including a cam belt replacement and a new radiator, this Elise S1 is ready to provide many more miles of enjoyment. The addition of a Janspeed exhaust and '135' cylinder head further enhances the driving experience. Complete with a long advisory-free MOT and reportedly driving very well indeed, this Lotus Elise is ready to be enjoyed.ee0880ca-2fe0-4b5b-aa5c-30d8764fe4b1.jpeg527.74 KB
