The BAD
Cat S (bumped a bollard years ago - they replaced front clam as was new at the time so they claimed on insurance - body is mint and was light and didn’t touch crash box and was fixed years ago - stayed looking good as was an insurance job hence claim category. Perfect job and paint perfect.

- Arm rest trims you could replace - not terrible - your arm on it when driving so not unsightly
- A couple of small scratches on trim - touch in or replace - so much available on EliseParts.
- It's very tidy - could be show-winner with a few more details.
- Drivers seat sqab- a little warn but no rips..

The little Lotus is a fun car, supremely comfy and drives so well cornering flat with minimal roll. It’s been cared for and I’m only selling as I anticipate having to do more miles in a car later this year. For communications and music I use an iPhone in a mount - plus Air Pods Pro sound deadening and Waze - set up works really well - traffic reports, directions and music :) I'll throw the mount in as it fits with the car.

Happy to answer any questions.

Drive away - there are no faults with her. I still might just keep her as waited all my life for an Elise and have three other cars and a daily driver.

Lotus service books and associated paperwork goes with car

Two sets of keys

Please no test pilots - you know what these cars are about - but it is a nice one. Happy to ship abroad if you sort paperwork etc.

Consider swap - cash either way - see above for all the details.

Thanks for looking.. car is in Basingstoke and miles won’t go up really - 92,000
