The Lotus Elise was introduced in Autumn 1996 as a two-seat, Rear wheel drive, Mid-engined Roadster. The Elise was built around an aluminium chassis with a hand finished fibreglass body which weighed in at just 725kg. This ‘Light Is Right’ philosophy made for a very agile car with an exceptionally low centre of gravity. The S2 Elise was announced in October 2000 and was powered by a Rover K Series 1.8 litre engine which produces 122 bhp and propels the car from 0-60mph in just 5.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 125mph.

The Lotus Elise S2 Type 49 offered here at Autostorico is a 2003 “03 plate” which is finished in Ardent Red over Old English White with dividing gold stripe and Scarlet Red interior trim. Having covered a mere 13,730 miles this stunning three owner example, was supplied through Gordon Lamb Ltd in Sheffield a Lotus main agent. Specification highlights include Factory hard top, 17” Alloy wheels, Leather steering wheel, Black Alcantara dashtop, Perforated leather seats, Radio fitting kit, Aluminium window winders and Carpet mats.
