About this car

The 135R was the sharper Series 2 Elise, with a short-ratio gearbox, a gas-flowed cylinder head and its own suspension tune. This 2003 car has covered about 27,000 miles, which is low for a 20-year-old Elise, and is finished in Mica Blue.

It still runs its original Bilstein Sport dampers and is standard apart from a Larini rear silencer. The page describes the history as very good, and the car has five previous owners. The current keeper has had it since November 2022.

Condition is mixed. The car has been fully resprayed at some point. It has also had accident damage, with a new front clam and one wishbone replaced, and the dealer has priced it below the usual level because of this. It is HPI clear and has MOT until March 2027.
