Very rare Elise Type 25, no 23 out of 50 built to celebrate Jim Clark’s 1963 World Championship. Only 16 remaining ( licenced or SORNed) in UK according to ” How Many Left”. This one is special with a very low mileage and has hardly ever seen rain. Pristine condition inside, outside and underneath, as it was when I bought it in 2023 from the 4th previous owner. The car was standard except for a Janspeed Stainless Exhaust, an ITG Maxogen Induction Kit, a 52mm Throttle Body and an Autolec Master Switch. The standard hardtop is supplemented with a green softtop. The MoT runs until 18 June 2025. All the old MoT certificates are present, with none showing any advisories.
During my ownership and just 1150 miles over the last 20 months, I have made it even better to drive, with some £2000 spent. Most of the work has been done by Simon at Scott Russell Sports cars. It has had a full C service ( including cambelt), a second key and immobiliser, braided brake lines all round and a fluid change, Ferodo DS2500 front brake pads, a suspension alignment, a new pre-cat O2 sensor and 4 new Yokohama Advan Sport V105 tyres at 9780 miles. It runs beautifully and everything works as it should.
The main service history, not including regular oil changes, has been at the following mileages:
12 PDI Orchard Lotus ( still on original dealer plates), 1009 Dick Lovett Lotus, 2945 Brooke Kensington ( Simon Scott Russell), 3348 Brooke Kensington (SSR), 6897 Brooke Kensington ( SSR) , 8131 HPE Automotive, 9287 HPE Automotive, 9653 Scott Russell Sports Cars.
All handbooks, a sales brochure, a comprehensive history folder with all invoices, MoT certificates, the OE Clarion Audio manual, tools etc will come with the car. A reluctant sale, brought on by advancing years and the recognition that getting in and out is becoming more difficult with the passage of time.
