Here’s a fun car. It’s a 2002 Lotus Elise S2 111S finished in Cobalt Blue metallic with a black leather interior.

The Lotus benefits from a very well-documented service history, with a folder of invoices dating back to 2004 showing that the car’s been properly maintained over its life. The head gasket has been replaced and Nitron suspension has been fitted. The car has documentation showing that  a Tracker is installed (but not currently active).

In 2025, the car had a new clutch, new gearshift bushes, new front and rear brake discs and pads, four new Yokohama tyre and a four-wheel geometry set-up, all at the cost of some £4700. We shall do a cambelt change and service before the car is sold, and include 12 months’ MoT, so it’s all good for the next year.

The Elise is in good, original condition, inside and out. It is a Series 2 car, with 1.8-litre K-Series VVC engine that produces a healthy 160bhp, which equates to a 0-60mph time of 5.1 seconds.

Philip Raby Specialist Cars is refreshingly different. We like to build a friendly relationship with customers; before, during and after you buy from us. You won’t get a hard sell but you will get friendly and professional advice to ensure that we find exactly the right car for you. We have sold hundreds of Porsches and other specialist cars and have a vast experience to share with you. We are based in the historic village of Bosham, on the south coast of England, nestled between the South Downs and Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s a lovely area to visit and you are still very welcome to come and view our stock or just have a chat about cars!

Each car we sell goes through a thorough mechanical inspection and any faults found put right before sale. This ensures that your new car is ready for you to enjoy from day one, without you having to worry about a thing. In the unlikely event you have a problem, we include a six-month warranty underwritten by us. We stand by this warranty so, if you have any issue with your Porsche, wherever you are in the UK, we will work with you to put things right, without any quibble or fuss. So do please get in touch for a chat and to arrange a visit or a live video – please click here for finance details.

Philip Raby says: “The Lotus Elise is one of the most fun cars you can drive. Small, light and revvy, with superb handling and steering. A proper back to basics sports car.”
