Minister 160bhp conversion (same kit Bell & Colville used on their super 140 and 160 conversions) keeps the car friendly at low revs and develops power up to it’s rev limit – it really improves a standard car no end, and makes for a punchy little Elise. Reliable too, as the work is done properly, with a gas flowed head, stronger valve springs, improved gasket, Vernier pulleys, performance cams, a cold air feed and filter box, and a stainless exhaust.

Huge amount of service history and invoices.

The service booklet is fully stamped and it has every MOT from new.

This Elise was supplied from new with a silver roll over hoop, something that is normally only seen on the sport 135’s and sport 190’s. It’s so unusual we contacted Lotus regarding this and they confirmed the original dealer Haydon Daytune had specifically requested the silver roll over hoop.
