About this car

This 2001 Lotus Elise is an early Series 2 car, finished in Laser Blue with a black leather interior. At 29,800 miles it has covered very little for its age, and it comes with a service history.

The dealer reports more than £7,000 spent in recent years, mainly on the chassis. That includes Nitron dampers, new wishbones, brake discs and pads, and a service. An upgraded ECU is fitted, bringing power to a stated 142 bhp with extra torque, alongside a stainless steel sports exhaust.

The dealer describes the car as very well kept and among the best it has seen in many years.
