why has this car not sold?
Discussion
I suspect because, although special, it's not really a low mileage car and it is quite old.
For your £24k you can get a more recent Exige or an SC.
Not mentioning that a 111r with same HP are around £16k, leaving you some change for a few mods.
People are probably more interested into S1 for cars this old.

I think comparing it to a 111R or a SC is slightly missing the point. To some people, this will be infinitely more desirable than either. The question is just whether they can find one of them.
That's exactly what I would have thought. To most people this car will seem just like a 190bhp 111R with trick suspension, just twelve and a half years old with 43k miles on the clock, which (if such a thing existed - the 111R wasn't released until 2004/2005), wouldn't be anywhere near this price. At the time when this car was released, 190bhp was unheard of in a factory Elise, so these residuals would be foreseen, whereas now it's standard, and SCs have more still. Incidentally, I think S1 Sport 160 values are influenced by the S1's classic status, which is something that the S2 has yet to achieve, plus the fact that the S1 never really came with much more power as standard, so the 160 was very special at the time.RobM77 said:

They did an S1 sport 190. Didn't sell many though!harryowl said:
