This 2005 Lotus Elise was specified from the factory with the Sport and Touring packages before being delivered new to Auto Europe of Birmingham, Michigan. Finished in Chrome Orange over black leather, the car is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. It rides on staggered-diameter alloy wheels and is further equipped with a body-color hardtop, a black soft top, air conditioning, aftermarket speakers, and a Blaupunkt CD stereo. Previously listed on BaT in December 2022 and acquired by the seller in 2023, this Elise has 15k miles and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, service records, a roof storage bag, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Chrome Orange and features a body-color removable hardtop, a black soft top, side air intakes, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler.
The 16″ and 17″ eight-spoke alloy wheels are wrapped in 175/55 front and 225/45 rear Yokohama Advan Neova tires. The car rides on a track-tuned suspension system with Bilstein dampers, and braking is handled by ventilated and cross-drilled discs with AP Racing and Brembo calipers.
The seats are trimmed in black leather, complemented by body-color trim that accents the center console and climate controls. Appointments include a Blaupunkt CD stereo, air conditioning, aluminum pedals, aftermarket speakers, and a micromirror rearview mirror.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and a digital display. The digital odometer indicates 15k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added during current ownership.
The transverse 1.8L 2ZZ-GE inline-four was factory rated at 190 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
