Finished in Starlight Black, this Lotus Exige shows just 16,143 miles on its odometer and comes with an advisory-free MoT valid until 29th April 2027. The V5C records 3 former keepers, all reportedly members of the same family, with the current keeper having taken ownership in 2020. The car was first registered on 16th November 2005.

Developed from the Elise platform, the first generation Exige offered a more track-focused set up. This model features the high-revving Toyota-sourced 1.8-litre engine, paired with a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox. The vendor describes it as a "superb example" that has been "carefully maintained in excellent condition" making it "highly desirable for enthusiasts and collectors alike".

After spending 12 years in dry storage, the Exige was recommissioned in 2020 by GST Performance in Newmarket. Receipts indicate that this work included a full service, all new tyres and new front dampers, among other things. Other maintenance receipts go back to 2006, and are accompanied by MoT certificates, the handbook pack, a touch-up kit and spare keys.

The HPI report indicates that a tracker is fitted.
