This 2005 Lotus Elise was specified in Arctic Silver Metallic over red leather, and it has 20k miles. The car has been registered in California from new and spent about 14 years in the same owner’s care prior to being purchased by the seller in July 2020. Power is from a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, and features include a Larini exhaust system, the Touring Pack, 16″ and 17″ eight-spoke alloy wheels, a removable soft top, power windows, a Blaupunkt stereo, and air conditioning. Additionally, a DS brace, aftermarket steering arms, and replacement dampers have been installed. This Elise is now offered with the owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, the removed factory exhaust components, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and features a thermal- and noise-insulated removable soft top, relocated dual exhaust outlets, and a rear spoiler. The Carfax report indicates that an April 2008 accident resulted in damage to the right side. The seller states that this resulted from a low-speed incident in a parking lot during prior ownership, and has provided photos of a police report, repair documentation from the incident, and a subsequent pre-purchase inspection report. The underside of the front bumper cover is damaged.

The 16″ and 17″ eight-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 tires, which were fitted in July 2020. Braking is handled by ventilated and cross-drilled discs with AP Racing and Brembo calipers. The dampers were replaced in April 2010, while a DS brace and aftermarket steering arms were fitted in May 2013. The brake fluid was flushed in September 2026.

The seats are trimmed in red leather, and interior equipment includes a Blaupunkt stereo, power windows, and a storage net. The air conditioning system was recharged in September 2026. Kenwood speakers have been fitted. The aftermarket alarm system has been disconnected, though its LED indicator continues to blink.

The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and a digital display. The digital odometer indicates 20k miles, approximately 4,400 of which were added during current ownership.

The transverse 1.8-liter 2ZZ-GE inline-four was factory rated at 190 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque. A Larini exhaust system has been added. The spark plugs were replaced in March 2026. Work in September 2026 included vacuum-line and wiring repairs as well as replacing the valve-cover gasket, PCV valve, ignition coils, and spark-plug seals. A pre-purchase inspection was also performed within the same month, and the associated report is included in the gallery.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned accident.
The car most recently passed a California emissions test in September 2026, however, the installed Larini exhaust system is not CARB-compliant. The removed factory exhaust components will accompany the car.
