Description

2005 Lotus Elise. The car is in excellent mechanical condition for the mileage. Recent work includes a new clutch, cam belt, transmission fluid and alignment. It also has less recent work including powder coated wheels, instrument cluster rebuild along with several small things these cars tend to need. Everything works. It has a soft top as well as the hard top shown in the photos. This is a great driver for someone wanting to drive an Elise that's had miles, but has been taken care of. Mechanic...

Our Take:
  • Rarity and Iconic Design: The 2005 Lotus Elise is a gem for enthusiasts—it's the first year the Elise was officially available in the U.S. market. Known for its lightweight design and precise handling, this model became an instant classic. It embodies the "simplify and add lightness" philosophy that Lotus founder Colin Chapman famously advocated.
  • Manual Transmission Delight: Equipped with a manual transmission, this Elise offers an authentic driving experience that's becoming increasingly rare. For purists, there’s nothing quite like the tactile engagement of a stick shift, especially in a car as responsive as the Elise. It’s a model that's all about driver involvement and communication.
  • Mechanical and Aesthetic Upgrades: With recent key mechanical work like a new clutch and cam belt, this car promises reliability despite its higher mileage. The addition of powder-coated wheels and aftermarket body vents gives it a unique twist, but the inclusion of the original parts caters to those who might prefer the factory look.
  • Dual Top Options – Versatility in Style: Having both a soft top and a hard top provides flexibility for different driving conditions and personal preferences. Whether you're cruising with the top down on a sunny day or securing the hard top for a quieter ride, the Elise meets various lifestyle needs while keeping its sporty flair intact.
