Listed for $48,000Sold
2005 Lotus Elise

Overview

Disguised as a traffic cone, this Chrome Orange Elise benefits from a number of worthy upgrades to sharpen things up. A lightweight flywheel has been fitted to reduce parasitic losses and let the motor rev up more freely, and a BOE exhaust creates a more exciting soundtrack while reducing pumping losses. The front clam was was replaced due to a dreaded parallel parking accident, although it does not appear on the Carfax. Sale also includes stock steering wheel with airbag.
