Car Catcher: A Silver-Over-Tan Lotus Elise From the First U.S. Model Year

Sponsored Content presented by Wire Wheel Classic Sports Cars.

Lotus introduced its Series 2 Elise in 2001, with U.S. imports starting in 2005. These cars, sometimes known as the “Federal Elise,” used a Toyota-sourced, four-cylinder engine instead of the Rover K-Series used in the European Elise up to that point.

This 2005 Lotus Elise comes from that first year of U.S. sales. It’s finished in Storm Titanium over a tan leather interior and comes equipped with the optional touring package that adds convenience features like power windows, a full leather upholstery and additional sound insulation.

 

Currently reported to have 58,600 miles on the odometer, the listing notes that the car has a rebuilt title because of damage to the fiberglass clam, though that all the repairs were “professionally performed,” with no damage to the chassis.
