The imfamous ( in Scottish Elise circles at least) 111R SC 260 is back up for grabs. Full spec is listed below and links to the build threads also. In my opinion still one of the best Elise you can get and this one is a bit special. Original car was an 05 111R which had around 35k miles before its accident and it has done 24k miles since its complete rebuild. The odometer shows 24k as the wiring, clocks and ECU are all from 08 MY.
Starts on the turn everytime and everything on the car works as intended. Comes with a full year MOT which it passed with no advisories.
You certainly won’t find another one like it and it is still seriously quick.
She is no garage queen and as such has the usual Lotus Elise body work issues, stone chips, odd scratch and bubbling in a couple of places. But she scrubs up OK for her age
I also have a huge spares collection including wheels, engine (genuine 15k), gearbox, trim panels etc available by separate negotiation.
