Biarritz Sports And Classic Cars (Bscc) is pleased to present this Lotus Elise S2 Type 72.

 

The Lotus Elise is designed to be a return to the roots of the British manufacturer.

 

In the true spirit of Colin Chapman's "Light is Right", this car weighs in at just 756kg and is easily powered by the 122bhp Rover K 1.8L 4 cylinder engine in the rear mid position.

 

This special edition makes perfect sense.

 

This true collector's item is a tribute to the mythical Lotus Type 72, three-time Formula 1 world champion, dressed in its John Player Special, Starlight Black Metallic (code B93) and Mars Gold (C164) livery.

 

A very limited edition of 129 cars, of which only 87 are right-hand drive.

 

The model we offer is equipped with all the option packs offered at the time of its release:

 

Performance Pack: black brake calipers, single-position passenger footrests, drilled discs and a partition at foot level between driver and passenger;

Comfort Pack: car radio with 4 speakers, floor mats and handbrake handle in brushed aluminium;

Safety Pack: alarm with siren, long-range lights, front mud flaps and protective film on the bodywork.

In addition, the following equipment is available:

Jansen sports exhaust and K&N air filter

 

Optional hard-top and original catalytic converter exhaust.

 

Imported from Great Britain in 2010 and in the hands of the same owner since 2013, who has maintained it meticulously. It has only covered 30,000 km in 13 years.

 

Behind the wheel, the driving position is very suggestive. The Alcantara buckets are spartanly comfortable and convey all the information needed for a more than dynamic drive.

 

Once the engine is started, the sound is captivating and travels through the cabin walls to the driver's ears.

 

On the road, the car is like a scalpel and the driver is the surgeon. The chassis is remarkably precise and the machine's light weight makes it safe.

 

There is no doubt that you are driving a pure Lotus.

 

This vehicle is available with a warranty of up to 12 months and financing of up to 84 months.
