I am selling my beloved 2010 plate Lotus Elise Touring 2010. She has served me well but I think it's time to move on to pastures new.

Bought April 2010 from JCT in Leeds for £32k it was initially serviced by JCT then I went to Pure Lotus this year as they are half the price and do the same thing - service record all up to date.

She has just under 6,000 miles on her although if this weather continues then it might just stretch above 6k.

The only modifications are a genuine Lotus stage 2 exhaust fitted by JCT which I think improved the car immeasurably. You can drive along with a gentle burble in the background or put your foot down and hear it all break loose. I also had the wheels painted black by the Wheel Specialist in Garforth. There was no damage to the wheels - I just thought that they would look better in black on a white car, and in my humble opinion they do. I also changed the stereo headset for an ipod and bluetooth telephone system which works very well.

The car has been garaged for most of its life, probably only getting wet on a handful of occasions (other than washing of course) and has been covered and on a trickle charger whilst in the garage.

The paintwork is in excellent condition as you'd expect and other than one of the carpet holder screw heads coming off it is immaculate inside.

The touring pack adds more carpet inside, cruise control (although I don't think I have ever used it), Pro-bak seats - vey comfortable even on long journeys (they may be standard - I can't remember...) and some other stuff probably.

I've taken a look at JCT and the SC models with higher mileage are £26k so think this is a reasonable price, happy to discuss though - I haven't done much research!

If you went to Abbeville last year then we were there.

I live in Barkston Ash near Tadcaster so if anyone wants to come and have a look then just email me - [email protected]

I suppose it's the done thing to take some pictures - hopefully you will be able to access this link -

If more are needed let me know - although looking at any stock picture of a white Lotus Elise Touring 2010 will look the same.

This is the model with the LED lights BTW

I'll donate £100 to this forum as a thankyou for making the ownership of my Lotus such a great experience if it's sold through here.

If you have any queries or questions then email or call me on 07973 285388.

Many thanks for reading

Jonathan

Most kind, I certainly won't take a penny off you but I would imagine the club would split the money between our charities.
Good luck with the sale :bravo

well, I may not be a lotus owner any more but I have probably got you a new member as I sold it to my business partner Simon Richardson who will no doubt be at some of the meets. Will it be frowned upon if I turn up in my new Porsche Boxster S??
