Elise S1 B&C 160

This Elise S1 is more than just a driver’s car—it’s part of our story. Back in the late-’90s, before Lotus offered the 160 package themselves, we at Bell & Colvill installed the full B&C 160 upgrade while still running the car new under its original registration. Finished in striking New Aluminium with classic black leather, it’s racked up just 15,200 miles and has had only two owners.

From day one, it’s had more than standard Elise performance: upgraded cylinder head, performance cams, uprated valve springs, and a stainless exhaust among the works that turn it into a lively, eagerly-revving machine. Inside, carbon fibre trim, leather seats, and a removable Momo steering wheel make every drive feel purposeful. Upfront driving lamps and Rimstock Alloy wheels match its sporting look, while a 4-point harness and headlamp covers underline that this is built for more than Sunday runs.

It’s a car that bridges eras—heritage Elise charm, performance previously only available in limited factory models, and a usable road presence. £26,995 for a vehicle with pedigree, punch, and personality.
