2005 Lotus Exige

KEY FACTS A lightweight and highly engaging analogue sports car, this Lotus Exige S2 is a timelessly specified example of the marque's acclaimed road and track-focused coupe. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre inline-four engine, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. First registered in November 2005, this example has been with the seller and its fourth owner for six years, though the seller notes that two of the previous owners were from the same family. The odometer indicates 16,148 miles, which the seller believes to be the genuine total. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Exige S2 is finished in a stylish shade of black, over a black cloth and grey Alcantara-trimmed interior, featuring silver door cards, gloss-black door cappings, exposed aluminium body panels, and brushed aluminium and carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of staggered 16-inch front and 17-inch rear multi-spoke alloy wheels finished in satin-black, and fitted with Yokohama Advan Neova tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a rear spoiler, a black leather and grey Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, air conditioning, an Alpine stereo, and Blaupunkt speakers. The car will be supplied with its original Lotus book pack, comprising the stamped maintenance schedule, owner's handbook, handbook supplement, and Lotus Assistance booklet, all housed in the original green felt wallet. Also included are the original unopened Lotus touch-up paint bottles, the V5C, two original keys, remote fob, and the emergency key card.
