Race Retro Classic & Competition Car Sale 2023 24th - 25th February 2023

9 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter Lot 302 1996 Lotus Elise S1 Fast Road/Trackday Modified some years ago to Lotus Elise Trophy specification, this particular Elise, finished in Norfolk Yellow, has led an interesting life having been converted to compete in various race series which it did with some success. Mechanically, the engine is based on a TF160 unit, with MS2 head and VVC hydraulic followers, PTP stainless valves, PTP valve springs, Newman PH3 cams, Piper vernier pulleys and 52mm throttle body with gases exiting through a Janspeed 4-2-1 manifold and a 5’’ pipe with lightened silencer. Other noted additions are a lightweight flywheel, B4BP gearbox and a Torsen LSD. To ensure an element of safety, it’s fitted with a full ‘Custom Cages’ 6-point cage and a plumbed-in fire extinguisher system. More recently it has been maintained, regardless of cost, by Hillspeed, Formula 3 Specialists in Derbyshire, and has been re-registered for road use so could be used as a ‘fast road’ or a track day car with the potential to provide some quite serious enjoyment. Having not raced in recent years, there may now be some upgrades required to meet current regulations should the new custodian wish to go down that route but, currently with fast road and track day use in mind, our vendor has just had the vehicle thoroughly checked at considerable cost to ensure that the Elise is on the button and ready to go. This attention included a complete brake overhaul and caliper refurbishment, new LP Racing brake discs, replacement stainless steel brake hoses, a new Varley battery and replacement fluids throughout in addition to general service items and an advisory free MOT all at a cost in excess of £6,000. Our vendor has requested that we point out that the Elise is only for sale due to his increasing years and imminent race licence renewal, presenting an exciting proposition without all the preparation for its next custodian. A brightly hued little S1, ex-Elise Trophy but now re-registered and carefully prepared for Fast Road/Trackdays.
