vehicle description:

What they said about the type 23 at launch:
“THE Lotus TYPE 23 is steeped in motorsport history. Its debut at the Nürburgring in May 1962, was one of the most astonishing drives ever seen in motor racing. At the end of the first lap, the diminutive 100bhp Lotus was nearly 30 seconds ahead of the field which included Ferraris and Porsches, each with up to 400bhp.
To commemorate the Type 23, the last small capacity sports racer to be designed by Colin Chapman, Lotus has developed the Elise Type 23. To emulate the look of a classic racer the Elise Type 23 exterior incorporates an Old English White with Lotus Racing Green twin stripe colour scheme, subtly complemented by two proudly displayed Lotus heritage laurels. Six-spoke silver wheels complete the exterior.
To accentuate its classic racing heritage, perforated green leather has been used extensively in the Elise interior, covering the door panels, steering wheel centre and seats. Completing the look, distinctive heritage laurels are embroidered onto the headrests.
To illustrate its limited edition status the Elise Type 23 is furnished with a Heritage ID plate as only 50 of these cars are to be built. The car is supplied with a body coloured Hard top and matching green soft top.”
This much loved 2003 Elise is number 16 of 50. (Only 21 left on the road in the UK). Outstanding condition throughout with under 37000 Miles on the clock. We have kept her as original as possible, adding just a sports exhaust, so she now sounds as good as she looks.
All the alloys are ding free, and as can be seen the paintwork is very good,with only minor marks you would expect on a car of this age.
Stunning interior throughout, all original with only minor wear and tear.
Recent new tyres, all correct for this model, serviced and mot carried out in April.
Engine based on the Rover K series, we have had an extensive check and tune up carried out by Quantum Mechanics, Lotus specialists and Elise enthusiasts.
Loads of paperwork, service history and receipts present.
Drives beautifully, and not to my knowledge ever Used on a track.
This is a much loved car and we are only parting with her because we are going travelling and want her to be appreciated by a new owner as she deserves to be.
