2005 Lotus Elise Description

This 2005 Elise is one of only 5 or 6 in the US in this factory bronze color. It is in excellent condition and after a recent major service, is ready for months of carefree, summer driving.
It comes with air conditioning, which generally won't be needed when either the removable hard top or the soft top (also comes with the car) are removed. The exterior is very clean and has only one or two minor rock chips. There is a clear protective film covering the nose of the car for additional protection.
The major service was done last year and the car has been driven very little since (I drive it a couple of miles once every month or so to keep the battery changed and to keep the all mechanicals in good shape).
Here is what was done during the service:
  • New front rotors and pads
  • Brake fluid system flush
  • Engine oil change
  • Gearbox oil change
  • Coolant system flush
  • Clutch fluid change
  • Underside panels all removed and inspection of all fasteners/bolts etc. completed
  • Sector 111 Toe Link kit installed (stronger than stock and a safety upgrade)
  • New rear tires
  • New Green Air Filter
Extras:
  • Forged light weight wheels
  • SPA oil pressure/temp gauge as well as intake air temp and vacuum gauge in aluminium mount
  • Sector 111 engine mount
  • Quicksilver stainless muffler
  • Infinity speakers
  • Seatbelt lock
  • Factory leather interior door sill pockets
The only item I never got around to was repairing a scratch on the steering wheel (pictured).
I had intended using the car more frequently, but have a young family and rarely get to actually go anywhere in it. Therefore, it's ready to be driven so needs to go to a new home and be used during the summer - it wasn't built by Lotus to be one of the best handling cars of its era, so it could just sit in my garage....
Please submit any questions and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Good luck bidding!
