2005 Lotus Elise 'K Swap'

Built for the track, this K20 swapped Elise offers 240hp at the wheels and features an Exige clam shell swap. Penske coilovers compliment stiffer sway bars to keep it tidy in the turns, and aggressive aero has been employed to give it substantially more downforce at speed. The engine swap was preformed by Sportcar Motion and tuned by Church Automotive. This example includes a generous helping of other modifications and comes with service records.

    Car history report

    Reported accidents are collisions that have been recorded by Carfax and AutoCheck through police reports or insurance claims. 

    Accidents usually aren’t deal-breakers, but they can affect the condition and value of the vehicle. We always recommend Carfax and AutoCheck reports followed by a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) - even if there are no accidents listed as some accidents go unreported.
