vehicle description:

Had this Elise a few months but been so busy with other standard Elise"s not really had a chance to push this one, however have decided to move it on now so offering it with no reserve. Viewing welcome before bidding, your bidding to buy, no warranty due to no reserve auction. Will be MOT"d this Tuesday ready for the end of auction.
HPI Clear, not cat c/d etc – can email certificate.
9 owners from new.
1 x key, no alarm so just requires getting another key cut.
MOT 12 MONTHS June 2017
V5.
We originally sold this Elise as a standard car finished in Ruby Red 3 years ago (see last photo) and have had the pleasure of purchasing it back after the previous owner restored it to a very high spec. It has only done around 2,000 miles and 1 track day since being put back on the road.
Full respray in Lotus Ardent Red with a slight flip to the paint.
Full Suspension refresh with red powder coated arms.
New undertrays.
Nitron Street series suspension.
Uniball uprated toe links
Etch primed rear subframe.
Body colour painted roll over hoop stays.
Shot blasted and POR 15 coated fuel tank.
POR 15 Floors.
Honda Conversion running Martin Tinker mounts and drive shafts (approx. 49k engine + 2k since installation, no proof/paper work).
AEM ECU, mapped and installed at TDI north with rolling road graph of 235.8bhp
Painted 6 speed honda gearbox with uprated clutch.
Toyota S2 gear selection.
Sports Exhaust.
Alloy radiator.Interior fan over ride switch.New Team dynamic pro race wheels with 1 track day old Toyo R888 wheels.
Retrimmed leather seats with red stitching and Lotus emblem done a few owners back so expect small amount of wear.
Harness bar with 4 point harnesses.
4 fin diffuser.
111s rear spoiler wrapped in carbon fibre.
Front splitter wrapped in carbon fibre.
Carbon side pods.
The service booklet is present with stamps, although fairly irrelevant now as this was pre restoration/k-series days.
The car was built/converted by an enthusiast who also built himself a 2.2L Honda sister car along with this one. There are no invoices or bills for any of the work or parts done on the Honda conversion / restoration apart from the rolling road graph as this was done by TDI north (see photo). The AEM ecu retails for around 1k new, wheels and tyres are virtually as new, Nitrons have done around 2,500 mile as I sold these to the previous owner. So has a lot of expensive parts fitted. I also have photos of the restoration a couple added to the auction but there are plenty more I can email on.
Still have original box for AEM ECU, instructions, software cd, USB cable all included with car.
Black softop.
Private "Lotus" style number plate included in sale.
This Elise has had a Lotus Replacement chassis when it was 1 year old, We called Lotus and the only information they have is that it was ordered by Nelmes main Lotus dealer back in 1998 with letter from Lotus to confirm.
I Have owned 10+ Honda Elise"s and it drives really well with the Toyota shifter, Very fast, Vtec kicks in around 4k rpm, sounds great good cold start etc.
Might take px but only at trade price.
