2000 Lotus Elise S1

Highlights

  • Just 55,205 miles
  • Comprehensive service history with Lotus services and regular maintenance
  • Recent cambelt replacement in April 2022
  • Replacement radiator fitted by a Lotus specialist in 2023
  • Striking yellow exterior with a tidy black leather interior
  • Equipped with a Janspeed exhaust and '135' cylinder head
  • Advisory-free MOT until 15th August 2025

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.
