by Vivek Nayyar

This 2005 Lotus Elise is a Graphite Grey Metallic (B108) example located in Midlothian, Virginia. Featuring a black interior and a May 2025 build date, this vehicle has undergone significant mechanical and cosmetic restoration since being purchased in April 2025. Updates include new Nitron coilovers, Yokohama tires, and a full A/C system overhaul. While the odometer shows 23,991 miles, the seller notes this is inaccurate due to previous instrument cluster replacements, with actual mileage estimated between 65,000 and 84,000. This Elise is offered with a soft top and two sets of keys by an enthusiast owner.
