Lotus Exige S

The Exige S is the supercharged Series 2 Lotus: a small, light, mid-engined coupe with a 1.8-litre four-cylinder and very little between driver and road. This example is finished in Pearl White with black wheels and has covered 31,400 miles.

It was imported to the UK in March 2023 and comes with two stamped service books, annual servicing and dry storage. Specialist work is well documented. HPE has attended to the suspension bushes and arms, and Lotus Bilstein dampers and an AIM digital dash were fitted in 2023. In 2024 Hangar 111 rebuilt the gearbox, addressing the third-gear synchro, with a Helix clutch and Fidanza flywheel fitted at the same time. The radiator, coolant hoses, air conditioning and suspension geometry were also dealt with.

Modifications include an HPE billet shifter, a TRD airbox, a 2bular exhaust, a carbon front splitter and extended rear diffuser. Inside are Corbeau seats, carbon trim and Alcantara door cards. Work in 2025 covered EBC and Mintex brake components, Nankang NS-2R tyres and a ceramic coating.
