Not too long ago these were very pricey little beasties.
Bloody good buying it seems.

Spotted a very 'noticable' lime green one, though not a convertible, on the M25 comming back from Heathrow the other day, much nicer to look at than most of the other cars on the road...

Just the perfect ticket for hooning on the twisties in the Waitak's while heading out to a west coast beach :-)

Yeah... it seems like everyone is charging top-dollar for the S2s and the S1 price has fallen drastically (hence why I'm now an S1 owner).... it's a higher mileage one, but a full service history should see that all okay. Not quite such a fan in red, but I've seen that car around and it does look rather nice

How is 58,000 ks higher milage. True theyre not usually used every day so the milage youd expect to be lower but it is a 7 year old car now.

If I owned it for 7 years itd have more than that :haha:Not like 58,000ks is particularly high for any car

It's higher mileage for an elise.... compare with my car, similar age, done less than half that Lot of Elises around with similar miles to mine.

But Elises are bulletproof really, simple to fix mechanically, bargain of the century if you ask me.... so next question: Which one of you lot has the balls to buy it?

I was going to take mine for a blat over lunch but I accidentally erased the alarm code on my keyfob! :P oopsie... couldn't unalarm/immobilise the thing... drove home and got my spare keyfob and codestick and re-encoded it and it's all good now but leaving her in the garage this weekend, unless it's uber-sunny on sunday and then I might catch up with the TVR crew for a bit of a blat... she needs a clean though... ocvered in all sorts of nasty grit at the moment... might wash her tomorrow if I can get out of bed... have a dance party tonight that'll keep me up til dawn
