4th car added to fleet. Must be mad.

In my bid to collect an example of every interesting British marque going, I collected a series 1 Elise this afternoon.

I have to say I'm impressed by how it handled the weather (even the disturbingly deep puddles ), although it does leak a bit. Guess I'll be reading the hard top threads shortly - is there any known way of getting a leak free soft top?

Pictures to follow when it's daylight.

The soft top is leaking? where abouts?

You can goto halford and get autoglym softop roof stuff that repels water and cleans. Its a two part kit.

Make sure the windows are sealed against the seals, thats where they leak mostly, not the roof themselves.

The leak is the corner of the window near the screen. It's not bad, but if it's anything like TVRs then there's a critical bit of adjustment to be done.

I've got plenty of soft top cleaner/proofer so assuming a fine day ever happens I'll treat it.

That's an easy fix

Mines only 12 months old and it leaked there too until I adjusted the windows, now it's perfect!

Congrats on the purchase.

Pictures as promised.

The fleet minus the TVR that's in pieces - Tests indicate that I like old blue cars. I'll be pleased when the plate transfer is complete - the current one might cause me problems, and is certainly not help with discretion.
