2013 Lotus Elise S (1.8 Supercharged 217BHP) Touring— Metallic Grey — 35,500 miles

2013 Lotus Elise S (1.8 Supercharged 217BHP) Touring— Metallic Grey — 35,500 miles

A genuinely rare combination: a low-mileage, properly maintained Elise S with considered performance upgrades, fresh MOT with no advisories, and a roof that doesn’t leak.

Finished in Metallic Grey with black leather and Alcantara interior, this Elise S is powered by the supercharged 1.8-litre Toyota engine producing 217bhp, driving through a 6-speed close-ratio gearbox. 0-60mph takes 4.2 seconds — figures that still embarrass cars costing twice the price.

Spec highlights:

• Touring Pack (leather/Alcantara interior, sound deadening, upgraded stereo, electric windows, air conditioning)
• Switchable traction control and Sport mode
• Cruise control
• Larini sports header and sports CAT exhaust — an outstanding sound / power upgrade.

Upgraded brakes (fitted for Lotus Cup Europe preparation):

• 308mm Alcon floating front discs
• Paragon two-piece rear discs (lighter and superior to OEM)
• Mintex pads throughout — fully road-appropriate

Wheel bolts replaced with studs for easier servicing. Supercharger belt and idler bearing recently replaced. Heater fan replaced. Freshly serviced.

Tyres are Continental Rainsport — a sensible all-conditions choice that handles standing water with confidence, making this a genuinely usable everyday car.

The textile roof is in excellent condition and waterproof — rarer than you’d think on an Elise of this age.

The front clamshell would benefit from a respray and the wheels from a refurb, both reflected in the asking price. Everything mechanical and electrical works as it should, including the air conditioning.

Four previous owners. Some service history with annual servicing throughout my ownership.
