Rare late 2000 Series 1 S1 Lotus Elise 1.8i FSH 2 owners For Sale

I bought this car 6 years ago and have enjoyed every last minute of ownership. It is a completely original, standard 2 previous owner car which remains un modified and has been beautifully cared for throughout it’s life with Full Service History. I was glad it had been used regularly over the years as well as being well cared for to the highest standard.

Finished in optional New Aluminium Silver metallic, it has the desirable Touring pack fitted which includes carpet mats, audio preparation, storage nets and front driving lights. A full red leather interior has also been specified and includes a colour matched soft top. A new high specification lightweight head unit has been fitted and provides great sound quality.

I tried to keep a detail of everything, and i’ve taken care to ensure that everything has been done properly, by reputable & knowledgeable firms that take care in what they do.

Year: 2000
Model: Lotus Elise 1. 8i K Series
History; 2 previous owners, Fully HPI clear with no accidents, theft or outstanding finance and Full Service History.

Condition - I’ve tried to show a true representation of the condition in the photos – It looks brilliant with only a minimal number of small marks and no work needing doing.

Engine + Drivetrain - Maintained with the correct oil during my ownership; I’ve always warmed the car up before pushing it. The simplest way to make sure your car never goes wrong - amazing how many people ignore it!

It has been maintained by #1 Elise specialist Phoenix Motorsport who have always been given an open brief by me to do whatever needs doing to keep it in A1 mechanical condition.

The clutch feels great with ideal biting point and no slippage and the gearbox is also a joy to use.

Exterior - Great condition throughout with no dents etc and only a small number of minor marks; it really is exceptional for it’s age. The original and ugly Rimstock wheels (as fitted to later model S1’s) have been replaced by the original design units which are far more attractive and these have also been fully professionally refurbished. The tyres are Toyo T1 R’s and have great tread. The roof is in great shape and has recently been treated to protect it from the conditions when out.

Interior - This is in great original condition and the seats have had their bolsters replaced as well as the kick panels. The gear lever and steering wheel are in great shape also and all the trim is intact, the original Stack instrument cluster looks great also and works perfectly. A set of high quality Elise Parts rubber fitted floor mats are also included as well as a full fitted car cover.

Suspension & Chassis - In great shape and feels super tight and responsive – There is nothing that needs doing here. It has had the common standard Bilstein conversion to replace the original poor quality Koni dampers. The track rod ends have been replaced as well as both front wheel bearings. It tracks straight and true, helped by the tires and having a full geo suspension alignment. The chassis has been fully inspected and is all ok with none of the issues affecting some other cars.

Brakes - These are also in fine fettle with healthy discs and recent pads as well as all-important fluid changes.

It has just flown through it’s most recent MOT with no advisories and needs nothing further doing. It was fully serviced 1, 000 miles ago (including gearbox fluids and cambelt) and has been given a full clean bill of health by owner Olly of Phoenix Motorsport. It also manages 40 miles per gallon on a run and is always huge fun to drive. It qualifies for cheap classic car insurance and everything operates as it should. The special S1 Elise-focused private registration is also included in the sale. I’ll miss this car deeply but know the next owner will enjoy it hugely also. If you have any questions, please let me know.
