Lotus Elise S1

This is a Series 1 Elise from 2000, the lightweight, back-to-basics version of Lotus's small roadster and increasingly sought after by collectors. It is finished in red with a cream leather interior and has what the dealer believes is a genuine factory hard top.

Its history is unusually well documented. The original order form shows it was ordered through SMW Belfast in November 1999 and collected by its first owner on 4 January 2000. It has spent its whole life in Northern Ireland. The first owner kept it for 15 years, and the current keeper bought it in 2017.

Servicing has been shared between specialists and main dealers. The most recent was a 'D' service at Charles Hurst Lotus in March 2025 at 26,573 miles, which included a new cambelt, tensioner and water pump. In 2022 Allon White spent nearly £3,000 on it, including a full service, a suspension geometry check and adjustment, and a new brake master cylinder.
