On offer from the Barton J Hubert No Reserve Collection - with the hammer price (plus Buyers Premium) going to the Kids Club Kampala Charity; a simply stunning Collector-quality Series 1 with just under 1,900 miles from new. Purity is a fragile and vulnerable thing and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every extruded anodised aluminium and epoxy resin crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused little sports car. Although 'beautiful to behold' it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between 'form and function' was clearly evident in the way it went and handled, with its lightweight chassis-tub at 731kg failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine and its 118bhp was enough for a 0-60mph time in the low sixes, allied to decent torque in the higher ratios. Clothed in two-piece 'clamshell' fibreglass bodywork, the featherweight two-door also featured all round double-wishbone, independent coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and a 5-speed gearbox.Designer Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle's feel and they undoubtedly succeeded; as is evident as much in the aluminium-and-rubber interior and neat little Stack instrument panel, as in the car's dynamic intimacy with the road, the wind and the weather. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he abandoned them in a move upmarket.Introduced at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show, just over 10,600 S1 Elises were built before the arrival of the S2 in 2001. It’s a testimony to the concept that, almost 27 years on from launch, the original 118bhp S1 still delivers. As with other great drivers' cars such as the E30 M3 and the original Elan, all things feel in balance – power, grip, handling and mass, making for a uniquely satisfying experience. The Series 2 naturally benefitted from further years of development, however the more demure Series 1 still defines the breed.The car presented here is a 1997 Lotus Elise S1 which was supplied new by long-established Lotus dealers Bell & Colvill to Robert ‘Robs’ Lamplough, the well-known 1960s racing driver and prominent member of the BRDC. Remarkably, it has covered just 1,900 miles from new, supported by its incredible condition and its detailed history file. This is a 'museum-quality' modern-classic, but it has been used and exercised sparingly, ensuring its fitness. Coincidentally, our very own ambassador, Harry Metcalfe, drove this actual car in October 2022, saying 'Nothing to see here, just an 1,800 miles from new 1996 Lotus Elise I was in today. Felt so light on its feet (K-Series was the perfect engine for the Elise) and steering was a reminder of how good a no-power assist rack can be. Pretty car too.'This little Lotus presents superbly in Racing Green Metallic with Magnolia hide, and is fitted with a 'Momo' steering wheel, built in driving lights and Perspex headlamp covers. It is the 911th example produced and is equipped with a number of features unique to the early cars, including the lightweight Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) brakes and aluminium engine cover that helped towards achieving the headline-grabbing target weight of just 690kg.The accompanying history file includes it's original purchase invoice and previous service invoices (including from the supplying dealer). As good as you'd ever find.This fabulous Lotus is very generously being offered for sale with the hammer price figure realised (plus, the IA sellers commission) being donated to Birmingham-based charity Kids Club Kampala - a children’s charity with a Christian ethos working in Uganda, East Africa. Their mission is to support vulnerable kids in the slums of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, by providing for both their immediate needs and strengthening their futures by feeding, protecting, educating and skilling. Their projects are a lifeline to vulnerable children, and they are currently supporting over 300,000 individuals across 12 communities in Uganda.Specification Make: LOTUS Model: ELISE SERIES 1 Year: 1997 Chassis Number: SCC111YN1VHA10911 Registration Number: P516 FPM Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 18K4FJ31481945 Odometer Reading: 1900 Miles Make: Interior Colour: Magnolia Click here for more details and images
With upgraded Bilstein suspension and a mild-mannered chip, this eye-catching 4x4 does make a bit of a statement in Firenze Red and Black. A Worldwide icon - as British as King Charles, Fish and Chips or the Local Pub. From 1990, the 90 and 110 models were rebadged as the Defender. It was instantly familiar given the evolutionary relationship with the Series Land Rovers that preceded them. To the layman, the different versions have almost become interchangeable, not least because each represents the utilitarian, unpretentious, rugged off-roader that made Land Rover famous.The Defender itself evolved gradually over its quarter-century on sale, gaining new Ford engines and the odd interior tweak, but perhaps the most significant change was nothing to do with the designers at Solihull, it was its gradual adoption by trendy metropolitan elites, declaring it as their carriage of choice, taking the Land Rover legend from the country into the city. It's now equally popular with both cattle herders and yoga instructors, a trend that is reflected in the latest models, as good up to their axles in clag as they are at carving through SW1.LR63 RED (the registration number will stay with the vehicle) is finished in very rare Firenze Red Metallic with a gloss-black front grille and headlight surrounds, over a black cloth and leather-trimmed interior. Shod with new 16" 'Boost' alloy wheels finished in gloss black with BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tyres fitted in 2021, the factory Defender 90XS specification includes a high and low range gearbox, electric windows, an analogue clock, heated front and rear windscreens, air conditioning, heated front seats, an Alpine CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity and USB and auxiliary inputs, and fold-down rear seats. Receipts included reveal over £10,000 worth of upgrades in 2021 and 2022, including a leather-trimmed Momo Tuner steering wheel with an Optimill quick-release boss, 30mm wheel spacers, Vision X 7" LED Halo headlights, and colour-matching door mirror covers, wing vents and steering guard. Mechanical upgrades over the same period include an uprated LOF gearbox output shaft, a LOF clutch kit, LOF clutch slave cylinder, a Bell Auto Services uprated Garrett VGT hybrid turbocharger (high flow/high torque) and a Bell Auto Services Stage 3 performance remap which provides smooth power delivery with increased torque while providing improved fuel economy. Documented maintenance includes a replacement offside front swivel seal, a new front differential seal, gearbox half shafts and lay shafts, shock absorber bushes, a rear suspension ball joint, and a windscreen seal. The car benefits from a main dealer and specialist service recorded in 2013, 2015 (1,438 miles), 2020 (5,513 miles), 2021 (9,321 miles), 2022 (10,604 miles) and 2023 (11,373 miles) with receipts provided. The car was in storage from 2016 and through the COVID epidemic. July 2023 saw a full paint correction detail, PPF install to front headlight surrounds, front wing sides, grille, headlights, wing mirrors, front bumper in matt PPF and lower skid panel, XPEL Fusion ceramic coating applied to entire Defender, cost of which was over £3,000.Obviously hugely pampered in the past, its new custodian will need to do nothing but enjoy admiring and driving one of the most recognisable and characterful cars on our roads today.
