About this car

This 1999 Lotus Elise is an S1, the original lightweight, bonded-aluminium-tub car that reset expectations for small sports cars in the late 1990s. At 20,000 miles it has covered very little for its age, which matters on a car of this generation where mileage and condition are closely tied to value.

It is finished in Calypso Red, one of the Elise's signature colours, with black leather upholstery. The page lists Lotus sports suspension, a sports exhaust and a Hurricane induction kit as fitted. The dealer describes it as well sorted and in good condition. No registration or ownership history is given.
