This low mileage Lotus Elise S2 111R with the Toyota 2 litre 192PS engine and six speed gearbox is a great upgrade for anyone with an earlier model S1 Elise. Zero to 60 comes up in just 4.8 seconds. By fitting the ultra reliable and powerful Toyota engine, Lotus have eradicated the Achilles Heel of the S1 and early S2 models, the unreliable Rover K Series engine which requires far more maintenance and is prone to valve and cylinder head gasket faults. Supplied to the former Lotus enthusiast by franchised dealer Lipscombe Lotus in Kent, more details of the specification
can be found here. The S2 model has a number of other improvements including Bilstein dampers and not least the narrower and lower sills making entry and exit far easier!
Part exchange your S1 Elise or any other performance car by visiting the
contact page on the website for a no obligation valuation. This car comes complete with a new MOT and full 12 months comprehensive Motorplan Warranty.
In summary, the S2 Elise continues the Colin Chapman ethos of performance allied to light weight, this car has to be driven at between 6000 and 8000 rpm to be really appreciated, when you are concentrating more on driving the car than the fast approaching redline.
