About this car

This 1999 Lotus Elise is an early Series 1 car in the 135 bhp form, the lightweight, unassisted formula that defined the model's reputation. It is finished in mustard yellow, with a bespoke interior of yellow leather and black Alcantara with yellow stitching.

At 50,000 miles it has covered roughly 2,000 miles a year, and it has had two owners from new. The page states a full Lotus service history.

Modifications are modest: a mild engine upgrade, Quantum Zero dampers, rose-jointed rear toe links, Yokohama tyres and Moden headlamps. Both a factory hard top and a soft top are included.
