Had this a few months now. Always wanted one. It's an Elise S2 Sport 135, very low mileage. More when I get a tick.  |

I had a brand new VX220, best daily ever!
IIRC the VX project was used by Lotus to fund the S2? I did 34,500 miles in the thirteen months I had mine. Fantastic car...

I looked at a tatty VX220, but ended up with this as it was well priced and almost as new. I've done more miles already than the previous owner did in ten years...

Very nice. I'm an Opel Speedster NA owner myself. I've had mine just over a year and took it straight to the Nurburgring the first week I bought it.
I'm just about to "finish" the modifications that I wanted to do but I love it. Without a doubt it's the best car I've ever owned or driven in terms what I want from a car.
Roof off, charging through the passes over here it's an absolute joy.
Give us a few more pics please.

I'm surprised that having this on here hasn't been challenged  . That said, they are a lovely thing. I did debate getting an S1 over my M3, as they are a lot of fun and have charm about them by the spades. That's before you get to it being a Lotus and having that heritage. However, my sensible hat came on as I wanted something that was still a daily, could go across Europe fine, as well as fit in more than a sports car ever should have to. Envy definitely is not in this post. I await the extra shots. |

I wondered about the age as well, but if it's like a VX inside, it's probably far more of a retro driving experience than the BMW, jag and lexus stuff we have on here! My VX220 had no power steering, keep fit windows, no central locking... |
