After over 18 years of wonderful ownership it’s sadly time to part company with my Lotus Elise to release funds for a house project.

I’m happy to provide further details to anyone interested, but brief overview:

2003 Lotus Sport 135R in Mica Silver, build no. 68.

Originally bought on 19/05/2003 from Formula 1 Lotus Newcastle. I’m the second owner, acquiring it in February 2006.

Current mileage is 65,740
Servicing and recent work carried out by Lotus specialists Performance Autocare in Knaresborough.

Every single receipt, servicing and MOT document ever issued

Recent work includes:

Full Nitron Street Series suspension upgrade (65,564 miles)

Yokohama V105 rears (65,460 miles)

Cylinder head skimming and full gaskets set (64,422 miles)

Enhanced “C” service incl. new timing belt, spark plugs, rear toe link assemblies, brake lines and Hurricane induction kit (64,091 miles)

Some might say it’s a waste, but I’ve never tracked the car and rarely driven it hard. It’s also lived mostly indoors when not in use. Work that it’s needed has been done promptly and without sparing any expense.
