Long term Lotus owner here.  Have reluctantly decided to sell this however I will be back in the Lotus fold soon for sure.

Finished in Cyan Blue - 1 of only 2 in the UK - with exclusive Cyan Blue interior colour pack (HVAC console, gearshift top, bucket seat eyelets, window switch bezels and yellow spoiler uprights.  It is achingly beautiful to look at and gets a lot of attention on the road, at Lotus events and strangely a lot of admiration from many bikers.

This car also has all the right Carbon goodies that make these S3's so nice.  It has the Carbon front splitter, front service/access panel, roof, tailgate and spoiler, and also Carbon seats with contrasting yellow stitching (not all of the S3's have these) with the 410 embroided stitching.

It has the satin black light-weight forged wheels shod in Michellin Cup 2 tyres, with yellow callipers which work nicely with the spoiler uprights.

Carbon fibre gear knob to fit any K Series engined cars, I didn't make the carbon, but I've machined a bronze insert for them with an M10 x 1.5 thread to fit the gear lever. The extra weight (160g) of this compared with an ally one also helps with the shift. Unfortunately the pics don't do it justice, the carbon weave is perfect and has to be seen to be believed!

For sale is my silver 1999 Lotus Elise S1 111s first registered in July 1999 with just over 63,234 miles and a full, documented service history.

The car has been meticulously maintained and cared for throughout its life. As well as the full-service history there are numerous receipts for all work done on the car from 1999 to present day.

This Elise had been sitting in a storage unit for 10 years after the owner pasted away and I acquired it at auction late June 2023. It was then dry stored it until being fully recommissioned by Scott-Russell Sports cars in June 2024 including brand new Yokohama AD08R S1 tyres that have less than 1100 miles on them. (Invoice of all work done & parts fitted included in documentation). Car started 1st time after recommissioning. Also just fitted, brand new exhaust downpipe

The 111s variant was more powerful than the standard version S1 Elise with a Variable Valve Control ('VVC') engine delivering a 25bhp increase in po…

I am sure some on this group will know me, Andrew Goater, regarding PG1 gearbox building. Over the last 10 or more years, I have supplied numerous B4BP close ratio gearboxes for Lotus cars on this group.

For racing the B4BP is too long gears. In a similar way that Lotus have their own UCR gear in the 340R cars, I have had custom made a 3 gear (6 sprocket) kit which uses the original C ratio gears 1 and 2 but a very close ratio 3, 4 and 5. The intention is you only use 1st gear off the line and 2 to 5 are very close. It fits a C6BP 3.9 final drive box and on 16" wheels gives a top speed of 125mph. If you use bigger wheels or your engine revs more than 7500rpm a 4.2 final drive can be used.

The gears are helical and are the same tooth design as the original gears. So, unlike using straight cut, these are quiet.

3rd, 1.47. 4th, 1.222, 5th, 1.034.

At 70mph (113kph) the rpm's are at 4500 in top gear. This does mean it's very fast to accelerate at this …

2 Owners from new

I’ve owned my Elise since June 2013, buying it from her first owner after a long search to find one in perfect mechanical condition and with a good service history.  Unfortunately I just haven’t used it as much as I’d hoped, covering only 2,500 miles in 12 years, and only 300 miles in the last 5 years.  I keep hoping I’ll have the time, but have to recognise I won’t, and it sits forlorn in the garage.  I was lucky to get a Civic Type R allocation at the start of 2023, and that has been the fun car of choice (3 kids mean that back seats are important…), so the Elise is just never driven.

Completely original apart from the Bell & Colvill Sports Exhaust and the EPTuning Carbon Air intake.  She had all the extra boxes ticked when new - metallic paint, leather seats, stereo system, driving lamps, luggage nets, carpets.

The perfect project Elise in a very honest condition - I haven’t prepped the car for sale beyond a simple wash and vacuu…

To prevent problems with the original plastic dipstick fracturing and ending up in the sump, potentially wrecking the engine, I designed and tested these plugs, the idea being that you fit this in place of the plastic stick, (which you keep on board for checking the oil level) then run at whatever revs. without any worries! As a bonus it adds a bit of bling to the engine bay! They're fitted with 3 viton 'O' rings, the handle being secured with a titanium screw. Delivery is to U/K only
