1999 Lotus Elise S1 LHD 190bhp GT race car For Sale

A very well known and successful car with outright, class and championship wins in the Belcar Sprint Cup and 24 hour races.
Supplied from new to Pascal Struyf in Belgium. Registered in 2000 but never used on the road. Prepared by Guy Janssens of GJ Lotus Tuning, where it was completely stripped down, rebuilt for endurance racing and maintained with the latest Lotus Motorsport parts.

Since the car's return to the UK, the engine has been rebuilt by Dave Andrews of DVA Power (£4580), the gearbox rebuilt by JP Race at Silverstone (£450) and Exhausts By Design fabricated a new exhaust system (£450).
The car was run-in on Emerald's rolling road and fitted with their ECU (£1130).
Since then, it has only completed a shakedown at Donington Park.
