Description
Classic Car Design brings you this Lotus Elise S1, the first, the purest! This example, which has been converted into an LHD (certificate present), is in very good condition, thanks to an astonishing mileage of just over 11, 000 mls. According to the documents in the file, the car had only one owner in the UK and the current French owner. On the outside, the car is entirely original apart from the yellow stripes. The bodywork is bright and shiny without having been repainted, with very few blemishes and virtually no stone chipping. Inside, the velour of the seats shows no wear whatsoever, but unfortunately the foams have not stood the test of time, bearing in mind that the car is almost 27 years old! Mechanically, the car is powered by a 4-cylinder Rover K-series 1. 8L 16-valve engine. In 2019, it benefited from a head gasket replacement, the studs were replaced and the cylinder head was tested. For the specialists, the water return is in the lower position. The brakes are as good as new. The car feels very precise and fresh, in keeping with its mileage, perhaps also thanks to the Nitron NTR40 'fastroad' shock absorbers.
This is an example of a Lotus Elise 111 known as an "MMC" (Metal Matrix Composite brake discs) in exceptional original condition, allowing you to rediscover the sensations of the era without the passage of time having left its mark...
