Basic information and history

Bidders Highway has been given the honour to auction a smaller collection of Lotus cars. We have chosen to name this small but interesting collection to "The Triple Lotus Collection", and you will find all three cars here.


Lotus Elise 111 from 2001 with just under 38000km on the meter. The car was imported back in 2006 into Sweden and has since had 5 owners, but only 2 users, according to the register. The mileage can be guaranteed by the current owner.


  1. German imported Lotus Elise 111 from 2001
  2. Barely 38000km on the meter
  3. Larger throttle body, Hurricane-air filter, diffuser and sport exhaust system


Equipped with 1.8-liter row four of approx. 122hp connected to 5-speed manual box and rear wheel drive. 0-100km/h is cut in an impressive 5.7 seconds and the top speed approx. 200km/h.


Equipment and options

In addition to equipment in the compartment, the car has received a little extra in the form of larger throttle body, Hurricane air filter and sports exhaust system. A diffuser from a newer Elise has also been installed. Original rear end and exhaust system will follow with the car.


Condition

The general condition of the fiberglass can be described by the current owner to be good. There is nothing of dents, worse scratches or door spreads. The car is obviously also stainless. The varnish has improved on the rear of the right rear screen. There are various scratches and less wear and some clear lacquer release around the body. These remarks are documented on pictures in the photo album. Glass panes are in good condition. Lister, lamp glass and emblems are also in good condition. The rims are in good condition and tire patterns are described as good.


The interior is in good condition. There is customary wear on entry-level strips, as well as outer edge of instrument panel, from entry and exit. Controls, steering wheel and buttons in good condition. Cardan tunnel has cracked varnish. The window frame has small scratches in the plastic. Chairs and its materials are in good condition.


Engine is described to be in good condition. Modifications performed are mentioned under equipment and options. Brakes are also in good condition. Under the bonnet, things looks neat and clean and no signs of leakage. Mechanically everything works properly.


Service history

The car has just been serviced with new cam belt, oil, filter and plugs. With the car comes a cover with various documentation and receipts. Pictures of this can be found in the album Documentation. The latest inspection was performed 2023-10-09.


Summary

Albeit Spartan, yet an absolutely fantastic driving experience and incredible grip with its just under 720kg in weight. Lotus Elise is the car for the driver who prioritize driving pleasure above all else!

    Hello. Is the car accident free? Is the chassis never been damaged?

  • MollydogSellerMay 21, 2024 22:42

    In the information I received when I bought the car, nothing appeared that the car had been crashed at some point

    Thanks Mollydog. These car has an alu. chassis that is not repairable, therefore it is very important it has never been badly damaged in it's life. Have you ever checked the wishbone-to-chassis mounting points and the underneath to see it they are OK? Has the clutch ever been changed? Are there any modifications (radiator, dampers..)? Do you have 1 or 2 keys? How many owners the car has had in total? Condition of tyres, brakes discs and brake pads? Is there any bad point you are aware of?

    Hi CarsMad! I am aware of the car´s construction of the chassis but have not checked the wishbone-to-chassis mounting points. In the receipts available for the car, it does not appear that the clutch has been replaced. As you can see in the auction´s description of the car, the throttle body has been replaced with a larger one, a Hurricane air filter and a Janspeed sprotmuffler have been fitted, otherwise, I don´t know if any other modifications have been made. I have two keys to the car. I am the third user of the car in Sweden. The conditions of tyres, brakes discs and brake pads are good. I am not aware of any bad points of the car
