Lotus Exige S2 Manual

2006 Lotus Exige S2 1.8 Supercharged – Rare Analogue Driver’s Car COE expiry: 9 November 2026 Negotiable Selling as-is. Suitable for COE renewal, collection or export. A rare opportunity to own one of Lotus’ most engaging and distinctive driver-focused cars. The Exige S2 combines extremely low weight, sharp handling, direct steering and a supercharged 1.8-litre engine in a compact, purpose-built package. Unlike modern performance cars that rely heavily on electronics, the Exige delivers a raw and mechanical driving experience. It is increasingly difficult to find cars with this level of driver involvement, character and road presence. Key advantages * Rare 2006 Lotus Exige S2 * Lightweight aluminium chassis * Supercharged 1.8-litre engine * Manual transmission * Direct, analogue and highly engaging driving experience * Distinctive styling with strong road presence * Compact dimensions and excellent handling * Increasingly collectible modern-classic Lotus * Currently driveable and functioning normally * Suitable for an enthusiast who wishes to restore, improve and keep the car long-term Condition The car is approximately 20 years old. As expected for a performance car of this age, some ageing components would benefit from replacement, refurbishment or upgrading over time. These are mainly age-related wear-and-tear items rather than a statement that the car cannot be driven. The vehicle is currently running and can be driven normally. I prefer to be transparent with serious buyers. Workshop inspection photographs and the known list of recommended works can be shared for review. Buyers are welcome to arrange their own pre-purchase inspection. The car is being sold in its present condition, and the asking price takes its age, remaining COE period and recommended future improvements into consideration. Reason for sale I purchased the car in March 2021 and have enjoyed owning it. However, over the past two years, my work has involved frequent evening business dinners and social drinking, so I make it a point not to drive on those occasions. As a result, the car has been used very little. My work schedule is unlikely to change significantly in the foreseeable future, so I have decided that it is no longer practical for me to renew the COE and continue keeping the car. This is a genuine sale and not because the car is undriveable. Ideal for a Lotus enthusiast who understands the Exige, appreciates analogue sports cars and is prepared to give the car the attention it deserves. Serious buyers are welcome to contact me for further details, photographs, viewing and inspection. Reasonable offers will be considered after viewing. No lowball offers, please.
