Description
Built as a race car for the road, there has never been anything quite like the Lotus Elise. Its extraordinary lightness and handling made the Series 1 Elise absolutely revolutionary. The fibreglass shell mounted to an aluminium tub kept weight to a minimum and its legendary Lotus developed suspension delivers incredible grip. Together with a bare essentials interior, you feel totally connected to the car. This particular well-loved model in Azure Blue has a much desired PTP performance 170 kit.
