- It’s a special day today, because Jake Briggs, one who’s escort rally car you might have seen on this channel, has let me drive is lotus Elise s2!
This particular version is the 111s, the k-series version of this car, and as daunting as the k-series rover engine seems, this thing is a blast to drive!
It’s 155bhp in a car that weights around only 800kg, and is absolutely insane to drive!
Yes it’s clunky and yes it might take a few minutes to get used to driving it, but when you do, it’s absoluuutely fantastic!

I own a 2005 Federal (111R) model, and it is an absolute dream! I still would love to drive a Rover powered car one day as I have always thought the K series sounded quite harmonious. That 111S looks like an excellent example!
@@kman5711 oh nice i bet that goes well! Yeah this sounds the part I actually thing it’s an aftermarket exhaust and it definitely makes it sound nice high in the revs! It is a pretty clean one 👌🏻
Proper drivers car, what a weekend toy to have 😎
@@stuartl369 it really is!
I daily my S1
@ you’re a braver man than me Paul!
@ or madder
That’s the later roof and super simple when you know how. Breaks are not servo assisted and have loads of feel.
Had mine for 3 years and miss it
@@AndrewwMK it definitely was simple as soon as I got showed how! Haha. They really do yeah, what a raw machine. Bet that was a fun 3 years!
@ I tried to daily it. It didn’t do frosty mornings, but otherwise was lots of fun. Head gasket went on mine but they can repair them so they don’t go. Cost a bit in maintenance but practically nothing in depreciation.
Tout simplement la meilleure voiture du monde petite légère maniable magnifique
Yes sir!
If you fancy a day at Cadwell Park next spring ill sort it out 😉
@@jakebriggs4035 sounds like a plan!
Fantastic
@@glenyoung2554 cheers glen!
Very great job and video man! For your next videos, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork and to watch your skills please? :)
@@constantinrenoir8273 thanks mate! I’ll look into something like this for the future reviews yeah! 👌🏻👌🏻
@@Classicsbyjacob Great, thanks Jacob!!! :D
Looks ace! I’d love a go in one of those
You won’t regret it 🎉🎉
A "flock" dashboard? Isn't it usually called Alcantara?
@@blueninjasix haha yeah it can be, but sometimes people ‘flock’ them with other material, didn’t know if it was standard!?
Very rare to find one but if I ever bought one it would have to be the one with the Toyota engine
@@Birmingham_racing I think he’s going to upgrade to the newer model in summer, can’t imagine how fast that is 😂
@@Classicsbyjacob Have to take it for a drive and review it, let us know.
Looks a fun little thing! Maybe not as a daily driver though 😅
Yeah maybe not 😅
I used mine as my only car through lockdown. I had no real issues with using it every day. It's a second car now though.
It isn't uncomfortable, just loud. The Toyota engined cars are more comfortable with memory foam seats and they have assisted brakes too. The biggest risk is other drivers not seeing it coming as it's so low. They are pretty scary to drive fast and take a lot of skill, not recommended on the road.
@ I bet that was a fun lockdown! Summer lockdown perfect time for these!
fuckin hell... i laughed at that... good arnt they, ive got one, makes ye smile
@@albertrobinson4539 hahaha glad it made you laugh, it did me 🤣
