Lotus Elise 1,8L 2010

For sale is my 2010 Lotus Elise S2 SC (Supercharged). These supercharged models are quite rare in Europe and are powered by the reliable 1.8L Toyota 2ZZ engine, producing 220 hp.

The car has approximately 37,000 km and has been carefully maintained both mechanically and cosmetically. This has been my dream car since childhood, so I have always taken great care of it.

The front and side of the car are protected with paint protection film (PPF), and several real carbon fiber interior parts have been installed (see pictures).

The Elise was serviced in 2025 and received another full service in June 2026 at MOTOTREND in Nicosia - the only official Lotus service partner here in Cyprus!

The following parts have been replaced or upgraded within the last 12 months:

* Paint protection film (front and sides)

* 4 new Yokohama tyres

* Brake fluid replaced

* New coolant expansion tank

* New engine ground straps

* New catalysator

* New battery

* New car key cover

* New car mats (original Lotus Elise)

* Toe adjustment

* New starter button

* Genuine carbon fibre interior parts (i still have the original parts)

* New wiper blade

* Oil service completed in 2025 and again in 2026

* New light bulbs

* During the latest service (June 2026), all electrical connections were cleaned and inspected by an electrical specialist.

To provide complete transparency, I asked MOTOTREND (Lotus) to prepare a detailed inspection report on the current condition of the car. The original email and all service invoices from my ownership (1,5 years) are available and can be provided upon request.

The only issue I have not yet been able to resolve is the ABS ECU, mainly due to the limited availability of replacement units so far(see inspection report below).

I am only selling the car because we may be relocating back to Germany in 2027.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
