should be the same as an Elise/Exige, nearly in the middle of each side, under the sill, marked by a sticker. You lift one side at a time to change wheels etc ...hasnt it got the owners manual with it...it will tell you in there...

The owners manual is supplied on a memory stick.

Jacking points are:



Lifting The 2-Eleven
WARNING:
• Using a lifting jack can be dangerous. If the car falls off
the jack, you or others could be seriously injured or killed.
NEVER get under a car when it is supported only by a
jack.

• Before raising the car with a jack:
- Turn off the engine;
- Firmly apply the parking brake;
- Engage first or reverse gear;
- Securely chock all wheels not to be lifted.
• Use only those lifting points identified above. Jacking at
any other point, or with a jack improperly positioned, may
damage the chassis or body structure and/or jeopardise
safety.

Care must be taken when using a lifting jack or hoist to position
the device only in one of the areas shown in the illustration.
Use a suitable rubber or timber pad to protect the chassis from
surface damage:

A; Identified by a blue sticker. Beneath crossmember ahead of
fuel tank bay. To be used one side at a time for wheel changing
- lifts both wheels on one side. DO NOT USE WITH GARAGE
4-POINT LIFT.
B; Garage use with 4-point lift. Beneath the front end of
the right or left hand main chassis rail, behind the front
wheelarch.
C; Garage use with 4-point lift. Accessible only if the engine
bay undershield is first removed: Beneath the outboard end
of the chassis crossmember ahead of the rear wheelarches.
Take care to position the jack between the fixing screws for
the fuel tank bay perforated chassis panel. Avoid the fuel tank
brackets.
D; Accessible only if the diffuser panel is first removed: Beneath
the rear subframe, close to the lower wishbone rearmost
mountings.

Of course, this is for your information only, whatever you do is at your own risk.
