LOTUS ELISE 111R 16V SPORTS RACER

[lotusforsale.com]

Its time to move on my beloved Elise Sport Racer to make way for a new Lotus to join our family.

I have owned this Sport Racer since 2007, being the second owner, it has only been used for the summer months and has only done 9884 miles, remaining garaged when not in use and never going out in the rain, this is a second car so only used for when guaranteed sunshine.

It is in showroom condition throughout, the wheels are unmarked with no scuffs and the interior looks and smells like new, the only thing worth mentioning is a small stone chip on the bonnet. 

I fitted a Larini race exhaust which sounds absolutely amazing, I still have the standard exhaust though if you’d like to put it back to its original form. It also has stone protection on the front of the car which has done a great job.

It has just been serviced at my local Lotus dealer is taxed till the end of the year.

For me I still think that this is the ultimate Elise which is actually going back up in value now, it looks beautiful and is a brilliant fun car to drive, the roof obviously comes off but I leave it on most of the time as it just looks so good. As far as i know this is probably the best condition Sport Racer available, they don’t come up for sale very often and always seem to have more miles on the clock and they always sell very quickly.

Only 199 Sport Racers were made with only 100 staying in the UK, for those who don’t know the details it was basically a fully loaded Elise, there is a really good review on Evo if you do a internet search for ‘Lotus Elsie Sport Racer’ which outlines all the upgrades.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I will be very sorry to see my Sport Racer move on, if it wasn’t for the new Lotus that I couldn’t resist then I could see me keeping it for many more years to come.

Thanks.
