Detailed overview
1999 Lotus Elise 111S, 14,362 miles, 1,796cc petrol engine, manual gearbox and 2 door convertible body. Finished in beautiful dark purple paint, this Elise 111S presents in great condition inside and out and has covered exceptionally low mileage for its age, even by the standards of a lightweight sports car. The 111S was introduced in 1999 as the more powerful Elise derivative, using the 1.8 litre Rover K Series VVC engine producing 143 bhp. Its lightweight construction and approximately 252 bhp per tonne power to weight ratio contribute to the focused character for which the Elise is renowned. This example benefits from dynamic steering that feels sharp and precise, a removable fabric roof for top down driving and a removable steering wheel which aids vehicle access and security. The driver focused cabin features leather sport seats, metallic control stalks, radio and rear storage space. Other specification includes six spoke genuine Lotus alloy wheels, front and rear sport brakes and an immobiliser. The Elise 111S combines responsive handling with an engaging naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a pure and focused sports car experience. The vehicle has five owners and the last service was carried out by Castle Lotus. MOT expires 27/04/2027. This is a particularly well presented example with very low mileage and a specification that complements the character of the Elise 111S.nKey specification:nLeather sport seatsnMetallic control stalksnSix spoke genuine Lotus alloy wheelsnFront and rear sport brakesnRemovable steering wheelnRemovable fabric roofnImmobilisernRadionRear storage spacenA beautifully presented Elise 111S offering low mileage, an engaging specification and the distinctive lightweight driving experience associated with the Series 1 Elise. nHofmanns of Henley are a distinguished motor trade business who excel in customer service and vehicle preparation.
