MA lotus
arrivera samedi .c'est une anglaise bien sur et encore plus car avec conduite à droite
voici le pedigree en anglais dans le texte de l'ancien proprio particulierement meticuleux
1999 Elise 'Super 160'. Azure Blue with black leather interior. 30k miles only. 12 months MOT.
I have owned this series 1 Lotus Elise for 2 years, and covered 9,000 miles in it during that time. I am a Lotus enthusiast and South East Lotus Owners Club member. I have serviced the car every 3,000 miles, maintained it thoroughly, and have made a few sensible upgrades during my time in ownership.
Bell & Colvill 'Super 160' kit.
This car was supplied from new by 'Bell & Colvill' Lotus dealership in Surrey. (I have the original sales receipts). The car was fitted with the B&C 'Super 160' kit from new by the dealer.
This upgrade was marketed by Bell & Colvill as an Elise 'Super 160' (this was before Lotus had introduced their 'Sport 160' model). In fact this popular upgrade package is still offered by B&C. The Bell & Colvill 'Super 160' performance upgrade includes:
Gas flowed Cylinder Head.
Piper performance camshafts, Uprated valve springs & Dual vernier cam pulleys.
Stainless steel sports exhaust & performance air filter system.
Flame Red cam cover.
Other Upgrades & Modifications
• Elise series 2 suspension upgrade - This is a Lotus approved upgrade to the car, and consists of a new set of Bilstein dampers & matching springs, to replace the original noisy Koni suspension. This kit was fitted in Summer 2007 (7,000 miles ago) and included a full suspension geometry setup after fitting.
• Mintex 1144 brake pads & Braided stainless-steel brake hoses (front & rear). A sensible upgrade which improves the brake feel and stopping distance.
• PRRT kit (Pressure Relief Remote Thermostat kit). Another sensible upgrade fitted in Sep 2007 (5,500 miles ago). This modification kit was originally released by Rover for their MGF sports car (which uses the same mid-mounted K-series engine as the Elise does). The kit re-routes the engine cooling system and relocates the thermostat. The kit was introduced as a solution to the problem of head-gasket failure which affected the mid-engined MGF (and the elise) and is considered a major solution to preventing head gasket failure.
• Piper 4-2-1 exhaust manifold. This improves midrange torque and generally improves performance.
• 52mm alloy throttle body. Improves throttle response, and solves the 'sticking' problem that can affect the smaller, original, plastic throttle body.
• Stainless steel cat replacement pipe, although I will fit the standard cat to the car unless you request otherwise.

Interior & Exterior details and condition
The interior of the car is tidy with no wear on the seats. The seats have blue Willans harnesses fitted, which really suit the car and are fully adjustable for all sizes. There is a small area of wear on the drivers side sill protector fabric, caused by the way you have to slide your bum over the high sills when getting in/out of these cars.
The steering wheel is a MOMO quick-release item and is removable in an instant (a great security feature, and it makes getting in/out of the car easier too!). There is a new Pioneer stereo fitted, which is MP3/WMA disc compatible and is iPod compatible, so that you can plug in your iPod and control it from the headunit. There is also a remote control for the stereo.
The car has a Category 1 alarm & immobiliser.
The exterior of the car is generally very good (it polishes up nicely as the pictures show), although there are some stone chips on the front of the car and some small hair-line cracks in the lower wheelarch area caused by stones. This really is not noticeable and the car is really gorgeous, and always attracts a lot of positive attention.
The car is fitted with 'Sport 160' style headlight covers, which I feel improve the look of the car and also protect the headlights from stone chips. The hood/roof is supplied.
