vehicle description:

For sale Lotus Elise 1998, finished in Aubergine (dark metallic Purple), the car is fitted with a factory hard top (comes with soft top also), aluminium engine cover and still retains its MMC brake disks.
I have owned this car since March 2013 purchased from Castle Lotus. And during my time I have added around 3000 miles. 
The car is in good order, both mechanically and cosmetically inside and out. There are a few stone chips on the front clam, but no laquer peel as can sometimes be the case, the car was professionally waxed by a friend a year or so ago and the water still beads up as well as the day it was done. The tan leather seats are in good order, the seats have no marks on them and the side panels are in better order than most, the interior was degreased and cleaned only about a month ago. And has had a number of sensible upgrades over the years, these include:
Bilstein S2 shocks.GT toe-link kit.Induction kit.Larger throttle body.Stainless steel exhaust.Quick release steering boss.Momo suede steering wheel.Lifeline fire extinguisher on a TGA bracket (fixed to the seat base so no holes drilled in the chassis).Compmotive MO wheels.Toyo Proxy 888r tyres.Longer rear diffuser (comes with original)Headlamp coversOutdoor car cover (can be included through negotiation)
The car has been looked after by both PSR automotive and Rapid Mechanical, both dealers have a good reputation locally and are recommended on the SELOC forum as well as the scheduled servicing I have had the following parts changed.
Cambelt -2014Steering rack - replacement from LotusBall jointsTrack rod endsRed clutch hose replaced with braided oneHeater matrixGear linkage Both window seals replacedNew wiper blade and armReplacement exhaust heat shieldReplacement alternator
I have a large folder of bills, owners manual, both sets of keys and 13 service stamps (on second book) from both myself and the previous owners. I am selling the car due to lack of use, I really enjoy the time I do get to use the car, but with a young family its limited and with my daily driver getting a bit long in the tooth I feel the money would be better used in buying a fun 4-seater. 
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. But please no text messages or ebay messages with low offers. Please come and see the car before negotiating.
