Anyone thinking of selling their S1 Honda Elise...????

[Matt_c]

If you are, please let me know!
Have been looking for a short while, and 'the one' has not turned up just yet.
After a mechanically sound car, preferably with the suspension refreshed and running on Nitrons (most Honda conversions tend to be like this).
Thanks in advance!

Have you checked SELOC? There's a couple of Honda S1s on there at the moment.

I have. There is a scandal green one for sale with 111k miles. Conversion was done 40k miles ago. I was looking for something a little more recent in terms of conversion.

There a yellow "motorsport bodied (which seems to mean Exige bodied) car too:

It seems to have done 43k in total and 13k on the Honda engine.


I suspect keeping an eye on E-Bay, SELOC and here will show up most cars that come onto the market. There aren't a huge number of them, though, so you might have a wait a while if you're after something particular.

Thats my car. Its a Motorsport Elise body, different to an Exige body. Motorsport Elise body came before Exige body. Exige S1 was based on the Motorsport Elise

I've seen that car in the flesh and looks fantastic.

I bet the owner spend ££££££££'s getting it to that spec.

Fair enough.

I bet most people think it's an Exige, though.

I knew what it was

Nice Honda'd S1s' don't seem to hang around. I keep an eye on the market (on PH at least).

Considered a Duratec?
