2019 | Lotus Elise Cup 250 GP edition

Full image set coming soon.

Hilton & Moss are delighted to present one of the most desirable and focused iterations from the famed Elise lineage, in superb condition.

Introducing the Elise CUP 250 GP Edition. At its heart lies a 1.8-litre supercharged four-cylinder engine producing 243bhp, paired to a slick 6-speed manual gearbox. Weighing just 931kg, the Elise Cup 250 delivers astonishing performance, with a 0-60mph time of 3.9 seconds and razor-sharp handling honed on both road and track. Aerodynamic enhancements including a front splitter, rear wing and diffuser providing genuine downforce, ensuring this is not only a thrilling road car but also one of the most capable track machines Lotus has ever built.

Launched as a celebration of 70 years of the Lotus brand, the GP Edition pays homage to their racing success in Formula 1. Limited in number, with just 5 cars built for the UK in right hand drive, each car is finished in the fantastic Motorsport Black and Mars Gold livery, inspired by the iconic Lotus Grand Prix racers of the 1970s and 80s. Subtle detailing, special badging, and bespoke interior touches set the GP Edition apart from the standard Elise Cup 250, underlining its exclusivity and motorsport heritage. The exterior is complimented by gold highlights which include a front splitter accent, gold decals, gold highlighting stripes to the front clam and engine cover, gold rear spoiler uprights and gold lightweight forged wheels.

Inside, the car features carbon fibre backed sports seats with GP Edition embroidery to the headrest combining function with a touch of luxury. The purposeful yet minimalist cabin reflects the Lotus driver-focused ethos, ensuring the experience remains pure and immersive. The seats themselves are finished in black half leather, half alcantara trim with a contrasting gold stitch. The steering wheel is trimmed in alcantara and a Motorsport Black interior colour pack completes the theme throughout. Additional specification includes cruise control and additional sound insulation.

Having covered just 3,650 miles since its registration in March 2019, the condition throughout this Elise is exactly as you'd expect having only had two caring, enthusiast owners who garaged the car at all times. Benefitting from a full Lotus dealer service history carried out every year without fail, and most recently in June 2025 at 3,443 miles by Stratton Motor Company, this Elise wants for nothing. A perfect MOT history gives further testament to the condition and care of this Lotus.

With its limited production, special edition status and motorsport-inspired heritage, the Elise Cup 250 GP Edition is widely considered one of the most collectible modern Lotus models. Confirmed as the last GP Edition built for the UK by the accompanying, complete Provenance Pack, this low-mileage, two-owner example is a rare find and offers a superb opportunity for both enthusiasts and collectors seeking a car that embodies the very best of Lotus engineering.

As Lotus transitions into a new era of electric sports cars, the Elise Cup 250 GP Edition will only grow in its significance. Thought to be the lowest mileage GP Edition CUP 250 today, this example offers a superb opportunity for the discerning collector to secure a piece of Lotus history, combining exclusivity, performance and long-term investment potential in one package. Supplied with a 12-month comprehensive warranty, and having been inspected by the Hilton & Moss Lotus experts, this Elise is ready to be enjoyed straight away by its new owner.
