2020 Lotus Elise S3 220 Sport
Low mileage, cherished example, with full Lotus and specialist service history
Registration - KX70 EZO
Chassis No. - SCCLJCR5MHC10594
M. O. T. - January 2025
Odometer - 7, 500
Widely regarded as a sweet spot in the model’s back catalogue, this example of Lotus’ Elise is in 220 Sport specification. Strikingly presented in white with black accents, ‘KX70 EZO’ is powered by the Toyota-sourced supercharged 1. 8-litre four-cylinder engine, and manual six-speed gearbox. Design highlights include the single, central exit sports exhaust, black alloy wheels, and discreet rear spoiler outside, while the interior features a new take on the classic open gate for the gear lever, black leather upholstery with white stitching on the sports seats, centre console, door cards, and sills. Factory fitted equipment includes the removable hard top, electric windows, air conditioning, and carpets, with ‘KX70 EXO’ fitted with Lotus’ Touring Pack from new.
Described as in immaculate condition throughout by the vendor – the engine, transmission, interior, electrics, bodywork, and paint are all reckoned ‘excellent’, the Elise 220 Sport has covered only 7, 500 miles according to the odometer. Included in the sale is a reversing camera, new battery, tyre inflation kit, and tool kit. As well as the original owners manual, there are four stamps in the service book, three of which are Lotus stamps, and the fourth is from a specialist firm.

Sought-after version of Lotus’ Series 3 Elise
High specification 220 Sport model
The Series 3 model was Lotus’ third and final iteration of its game-changing sports car. Initially launched in 1996, the Elise proved a life-saver for the Norfolk-based firm, and catapulted the sports car specialist back into the big leagues. Focusing on a blend of accessible power, exceptional handling, and lightweight design, the Elise consistently placed highly in the ranks of “Driver’s Cars” from publications around the world. The Series 3 featured a modest restyling over the Series 2, arriving early in 2010, with sharper styling at the front the most significant visual change. At launch, three engine variants were on offer – the entry-level 1. 6-litre straight four, a 1. 8-litre unit, and a supercharged 1. 8-litre version; the latter producing 220hp for a 0-62mph time of under five seconds. The Elise ceased production in 2021, with more than 35, 000 units across three generations sold.
