2000 Lotus Elise | Wilmslow, Cheshire

A 2000 Lotus Elise, the lightweight two-seat roadster known for its bonded aluminium chassis, fibreglass body and direct, agile handling. This car is a Sport 160, with a 1.8-litre engine mounted behind the seats. It is finished in Scandal Green with a red interior, in excellent condition. It is one of seven painted in that green, and it posed for the Sport 160 sales brochure. Evo reviewed it in full, a classic car title put it on its cover, and Absolute Lotus has featured it. Lift off the throttle and the exhaust can spit flames. The low, compact body leaves plenty of room in shot for the location, which suits photography, advertising and fashion shoots, while green against red gives a stylist strong colour to work with. The flames give film and music video crews a dramatic moment to capture. For a wedding or personal hire, it offers a sports car with a story to tell. It is based in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
