HIGHLIGHTS:
Clad in iconic Norfolk Mustard Yellow, this 1999 Lotus Elise 1.8 S1 is a beautifully original example of the lightweight sports car that redefined pure driving pleasure. Paired with a black interior, it retains the raw, minimalist character the Series 1 Elise is celebrated for, enhanced subtly with tasteful period-correct upgrades.
This Elise features billet window winders, sports alloy wheels, a VVC intake upgrade, and a removable steering wheel, adding both function and driver-focused appeal without compromising originality. A desirable hard top option is also included, offering added versatility and usability. The interior remains in mint condition, reflecting careful ownership and preservation.
The car is in good running condition and drives exactly as an Elise should—light, responsive, and engaging. A fantastic opportunity to own a well-presented S1 Elise in a standout color, ideal for enthusiasts seeking an authentic, analog sports car experience.
The odometer reads 106,489 kms.
