vehicle description:


A Unique, and much loved Series 1 Elise reluctantly for sale.
Key features of the car:
   - 160 BHP K Series 1.8 16v VVC Engine / ECU
   - Remanufactured engine 06/2013 at 116,100 miles (5,000 miles on it)
   - S2 Bilstein dampers all round
   - Hurricane induction kit
   - Janspeed exhaust
   - Clutch replaced 06/2013
   - Gearbox from Elise S2 111S at around 80,000 miles
   - Upgraded cooling - Aluminium triple pass radiator, fan controller, etc
   - Complete respray 2010 at 108,000 miles
The car looks fabulous as the exterior Norfolk Mustard paintwork is immaculate (and very distinctive).  The yellow paintwork and red roof / red interior are a fabulous combination.  Also has Sport 160 decals and protection strips.  The car sounds fantastic due to induction kit and sports exhaust.  Goes without saying, it is very, very quick.
The car is based in central Edinburgh.  It was acquired in October 2011 and is owned, maintained and driven by a private group of car fanatics.  As we are aging the cars impracticalities mean it is being used less and less, so we are looking to upgrade to something more practical, like a Lotus Evora :-)  The car is in excellent condition and we would welcome any inspection you require.
We have complete MOT certificates going back to 2003.  Since October 2011 it has only done about 10,000 miles - hence the reason for sale.   Notable Service history since October 2011:
- March 2012    111,200    MOT
- April 2012      111,800    Wheel alignment
- Aug 2012        113,500    OSF Tyre
- Sep 2012         113,600    Wheelbearing, Bushes, Drop Links, Gearbox Cables
- Sep 2012         113,800    Minor service - Oil / filter
- Feb 2013         114,000    NSF Tyre
- Mar 2013        114,400    MOT, Service, Catalytic Converter
- Jun 2013         116,100    Engine Replacement, New Clutch (Engine from Ivor Searle)
- July 2013        116,100    Triple Pass Radiator, Fan controllers, Sensors, etc
- Aug 2013        116,600    New engine 500 mile service
- Dec 2013        118,300    Head gasket, water pump, timing belt
- Mar 2014        118,300    MOT, Shock Absorber, Battery
- Sep 2014         120,600    Service
- Nov 2014        120,700    Replace Exhaust Manifold
- Mar 2015        120,700    MOT
- May 2015       121,200    Idle Air Control Valve replaced
   
As you can see from the above, there were temperature issues after the new engine was fitted, which required the car to be sent to Murray Lotus for the head gasket, water pump, timing belt and other ancillaries to be replaced.  The fault was found and rectified, the car now runs impeccably.  The car has covered 3,000 miles since this.
So an opportunity to own a beautiful, Unique, involving, appreciating, spectacularly quick classic British sports car with a 160 BHP engine which has covered 6,000 miles.
