2004 Lotus Elise 111R Manual MY04

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally presented 2004 Lotus Elise 111R, finished in striking black with elegant gold racing highlights. Combining timeless styling with Lotus’s legendary lightweight engineering, this 111R delivers one of the purest and most engaging driving experiences available in any modern sports car.

Powered by the renowned 1.8-litre Toyota VVTL-i engine and paired with a precise 6-speed manual transmission, the Elise 111R rewards drivers with a thrilling high-revving character, exceptional balance, and razor-sharp handling. Weighing little more than 850kg, it embodies Colin Chapman’s philosophy of performance through lightness. The black and gold colour combination perfectly complements the Elise’s sculpted lines, creating a sophisticated yet purposeful appearance that stands out without being overstated. Whether displayed at a cars-and-coffee event, enjoyed on a winding mountain road, or taken to a track day, this is a car that never fails to impress.
