Up for sale is my personal pride and joy the fabled Elise Sport 190!
Chassis number 4 from the original production of just 33 units worldwide - It was produced by the Lotus Race Skunkworks Lotus Motorsport and is the only S2 based car that Lotus put the VHPD Rover engine into (essentially a better build variant of the S1 Exige Engine)
This is a Private sale please note - The car has been owned by me with the V5 in my name for 6 years genuine reason for sale - any inspection is welcomed but there is no warranty implied or given.
It has a wonderful history with the first owner being Bobby Bell from Bell and Colvill it was actually raced for a few events before being retired off and has been a garage queen for the majority of it's life having not reached 10,000 miles yet!
Under my owner ship the following works have been carried out
Full suspension refresh using original zinc passivate
refinished paint on front clam and side sills
Added S2 Exige probax seats
Full high quality return in Nappa leather and Alcantara
Steering wheel retrimmed
Ohlins 2 way adjustable dampers fitted
PRRT thermostat fitted
Quaife LSD fitted
Emerald ECU and setup (original ECU is with the car)
Loads of history I also had a cam belt service done on purchase this is technically due on time but has covered hardly any mileage.
Factory Spec includes
Hardtop and Soft top
The usual VHPD Rover K series actually puts out just over 180BHP not the 190 on the sticker!
Carbon induction chamber
Race petty bar (removed but retained and included)
4 pot brakes up front
Fire suppression and electrical cutoff system
It's in lovely condition I have only managed one trackday in it (it was amazing!) Hardly used it in the 6 years I have owned it (too many cars!) Maybe I have done 600 miles total.
Quite a bit of history certainly not had a service every year but there are for example 3 cam belt service invoices. It's been properly dry stored in our unit.
There are around 15 Sport 190s remaining in the UK they don't come to market very often for very good reason its a very very special car but the time has come for me to move it on sadly. Very keenly priced for a car of this low mileage and condition.
I have a second set of the rare OZ Wheels available by negotiation.
