Description:


Pristine 2005 Lotus Elise in Arctic Silver Metallic with Red Touring Pack leather interior
.
The Lotus Elise is the purest road-legal sports / track car you can buy. Every automotive publication and car show has raved about the awesome handling. This is your chance to own a near-perfect, low mileage example of what has been called the best handling sports car in the world.
This particular car has had only one owner. The car has traveled just 11, 700 miles and was always dealer serviced. It has never been in an accident or had any paintwork. Even the factory alloy wheels are in excellent condition. The Arctic Silver Metallic paint was an extra cost option. It still looks like new. The car was sold new with the Touring Pack option which featured full carpet set, leather interior, power windows, insulated removable soft top, added sound and thermal insulation, upgraded sound system, and stowage net behind the seats.
The following upgrades items are installed and go with the car:
·
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines filled with with Castrol SRF Fluid
·
Baffled Oil Pan
·
Sector 111 Harness Bar
·
Driver and Passenger 4-point Schroth Harness Belts (original belts are still installed and can be used)
·
Floor Mounted Fire Extinguisher
·
Dealer Installed Lotus Stage II Sport Exhaust (original is included in sale)
·
Strengthened Toe Links
·
Tall Carbon Fiber Shift Knob (original is included in sale but you’ll love this one)
·
Trunk Mounted, Hard Wired Battery Maintainer
·
Crossed British / Checquered Flag Decal (will be removed if buyer desires)
·
Enameled Lotus Logo on Engine Cover
There is no significant wear anywhere on this car. The doorsills are not scratched-up. The front “ears” below the grill are lightly scraped but much less than is typical. The interior is great overall. There is a very small area on the driver’s side seat where the harness buckle scraped the leather (see photo). The car has always been garaged. All the black trim and grill-work is original, unfaded dark black. The headlight covers are clear and unscratched.
The Yokohama Advan Neova tires have 4/32 inch tread depth on each. The original tire inflation can is mounted in the truck.
The original radio remains in place. The car comes with two keys and key fobs, original owner’s manual, original tool kit, service receipts, and window sticker. Even the original radio box with instruction manual is still with the car.
Ever since Lotus stopped bringing the Elise to the US after the 2011 model year, good Elises with low mileage have become harder and harder to find. You could look a long time before finding a better one than this. This is the perfect weekend sports car and occasional track day car. I am happy to try to answer any questions that you have. The car is in central New Jersey. You are encouraged to come check it out in person.
This car is for sale locally. It is sold as is / where is. I reserve the right to end this listing early. The car has no warranty. The buyer cannot take or ship the car until after I am satisfied that 100% of the amount due has been safely received. I will accept cash, wire transfer or cashier’s check. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
