At 50051 miles Hangar 111 also replaced the head gasket at which time they stripped and rebuilt the head, replaced the water pump, thermostat, coolant and HT Leads.
The car has just been fully prepared in our workshop and has received a new timing belt, alternator (as the bearing is a little noisy), new oil / filter. A fresh MOT will be placed upon the car before delivery.
The bodywork and alloy wheels are in fine order with a deep gloss finish and without any scratches whilst the fibreglass body is free from crazing or star cracks. The black soft top fits snuggly and operates perfectly. The interior is in equally fine order with blemish free plastics, an unworn steering wheel and seats that remain stain and mark free with the exception of some wear to the driver’s seat as is to be expected.
Supplied with both keys and original book pack, the car comes supplied with a Motor Check certificate confirming the car is HPI clear and the milage verified.
The Lotus Elise is a fantastic fun drivers’ car with sublime handling and we have no doubt it will delight its next owner.
