About this car

The Tesla Roadster was the first series-production electric car to use lithium-ion cells, built on a Lotus Elise-derived chassis. This is a 2011 Roadster 2.5 Sport, the faster of the two derivatives, and a right-hand-drive UK car, which is a rare thing in itself.

It is finished in Black Metallic over an Executive Leather interior in dark grey and black. The paint is not original: the car was originally sourced in white and refinished in black at the owner's request, at a stated cost of £4,500. Options total just over £20,500 and include clear-coat carbon fibre body accents and hardtop, carbon-accented leather, the infotainment system, a Solar Guard windscreen, a universal mobile connector and a hardtop storage bag.

The car shows 37,110 miles. The page gives no registration or ownership count.
