This exceptional example of the legendary Lotus Elise S1 combines the purity of Colin Chapman’s lightweight philosophy with a relentless, no-compromise mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Finished in a deep metallic green over newly retrimmed premium Tan Nappa leather, it is arguably one of the finest and most comprehensively developed Lotus Elise S1s in Singapore today.

At its heart is a comprehensively rebuilt K-Series engine featuring forged pistons, forged conrods and new liners, together with a DVA K13 engine specification comprising Piper camshafts and a big-valve ported and polished cylinder head. A KMaps remapped ECU, close-ratio gearbox and Quaife limited-slip differential complete a package that delivers an Elise that is sharper, stronger and even more engaging than standard, while remaining faithful to the car’s original character.

The attention to detail extends well beyond the mechanicals. The interior has been newly retrimmed in premium Tan Nappa leather, complemented by a new soft top, new carpets and new safety belts. The air-conditioning system has also been comprehensively overhauled with all mechanical components replaced, while a new STACK instrument cluster, lightweight Lotus Motorsport wheels, aluminium fuel tank and short shift kit further enhance the driving and ownership experience.

This official agent unit is accompanied by an extensive collection of spare parts, including its original hardtop, original wheels, original MMC brakes and a spare cylinder head. Opportunities to acquire a Lotus Elise S1 of this calibre are exceptionally rare. In Singapore, where only a handful remain, examples prepared to this standard are rarer still.
