Ultra rare Elise in gold leaf colours. Red alcantara interior.
Believed to be around 60 49s made for UK market and some will not have survived. 12 Months MOT.
Mine for the past 18 years. 3 previous owners. Extensive history file. Upgrades include Larini stainless steel exhaust and Momo removable steering wheel. Decent but now dated Blaupunkt radio / cd player.
Dry stored throughout and never seen rain in my ownership.
Comes with a soft top, original black (showing its age) and a Hard top in matching Calypso Red. bought second hand, and literally never used since as the lotus only ventured out on warm dry days. Shower cap as new - has never seen rain.
Recent work includes 4 new coil over units less then 100 miles ago. New battery last week. Full C service in last 100 miles.
MOTnotes recurring advisories refer to rear brake discs. New replacements included with the car but not yet fitted. My regular service chap reckons a few fast. miles with a bit of braking would cure the issue and is reluctant to fit until really necessary. Same applies to brake lines which are protected by wax.
Selling because i need the space for my other toys. My wife is unimpressed that we seem to have 6 cars cluttering the garage and drive. That said I'm not in any way desperate and will not entertain a fire - sale offer. This is car whose value can only go one way.
