2014 Lotus Elise S3 220
Finished in solar yellow with touring pack and air conditioning

Registration – AU64 AXZ

Chassis No. – SCCLJCRC8EHC11269

M.O.T. – September 2026

Odometer – 37,932

Registered in September 2014, this Lotus Elise S3 220 is presented in the striking shade of Solar Yellow and has covered just 37,932 miles from new. Supplied new by Lotus Silverstone, the car has had only one previous owner prior to the vendor and remains in excellent condition throughout.

Powered by a 1.8-litre supercharged engine producing 217bhp, the Elise S3 220 is capable of 0–60mph in just 4.6 seconds, yet remains one of the purest lightweight sports cars of its era. The car was specified with the desirable Touring Pack and air conditioning, making it equally at home on road trips as it is on track.

The accompanying history file confirms a full service record, with stamps from Stratton Motor Company and Taylors, along with invoices, past MOTs, and the original handbooks and warranty documents. Also included is the original Alpine stereo system and associated paperwork. The car was last advertised for sale in 2021 at £32,999, underlining its quality and desirability in the marketplace. Supplied with a current MOT until September 2026, this Elise is ready to be enjoyed immediately by its next custodian.

First launched in 1996, the Lotus Elise reinvented the lightweight sports car, combining bonded aluminium chassis technology with minimalist design to deliver unparalleled handling and driver engagement. The later S3 models with the 220bhp supercharged engine are widely regarded as the sweet spot of the range, offering the best balance between performance, usability, and purity.
