We have this lovely 2004 Lotus Elise Sport 135R — number 105 of a limited run, with only around 100 originally intended for production. Hand-built by Lotus Sport & Performance, the 135R was engineered as a road-legal track car, combining lightweight agility with focused chassis tuning.

This particular example has been further enhanced for track-readiness, featuring a harness bar and Willans harnesses, along with an interior trimmed in Alcantara and carbon-effect detailing.

In 2022, the original Yokohama tyres were replaced by Avon ZZS track tyres by the specialists at Maidstone Sports Cars. Having passed its MOT in March 2024 with a fresh service, the car has remained unused since and is ready for its next enthusiast owner.

Accompanied by an extensive history file and boasting just two previous owners, this Elise 135R has been meticulously maintained throughout its life and remains in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition.
