3k-Mile 2005 Lotus Elise

Paint finish Saffron Yellow and the car is optioned with a removable hardtop, factory driving lights, and the Touring Package, which added leather seats and trim, electric windows, partial carpeting, and extra sound deadening. Power comes from a 1. 8L DOHC Toyota inline-four with a factory-installed Stage II exhaust mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. 2005 was the first year of the Federalized Elise after production began in 1996. The front clam shell was replaced in 2005 to correct a crack in the fiberglass. A storage bag accompanies the top. A black soft targa top and carrying bag are included in the sale. Partial black carpeting covers the aluminum floors with additional foam sound insulation. A stock Blaupunkt Acapulco head unit remains in the dash. Electric windows are optioned in place of the base modelâ??s crank windows. As seen above, mileage is displayed as 3,086 miles. The mid-mounted 1. 8L DOHC Toyota-sourced 2ZZ-GE inline-four features a Yamaha designed twin-cam head that provides variable valve timing to both intake and exhaust valves. Mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission used in the Toyota Celica GT-S, the Elise was rated at 189 horsepower with 138 ft-lbs of torque when new, with a curb weight of just under one ton. The last service was three years ago and included a full fluid change. Service records since new are included.
