Description

This has to be one of the best remaining examples of the Series 1 Lotus Elise, in immaculate condition having been driven just 3,000 miles, and presented with a full history file including the original 1997 bill of sale. This example also benefits from the original silicon-carbide reinforced aluminium brakes, which are extremely rare to see with most owners opting to replace them with standard discs and pads. Making its debut at the 1995 Frankfurt Auto Show, the first ever Lotus Elise weighs an incredible 690 kg, and was described as 'the world's most advanced sports car', receiving multiple 'Car of the Year' awards owing to its incredible handling and design. The S1 Elise is powered by a 1.8-litre Rover K Series engine producing 118 bhp.
