Trying to find my old S1
Discussion
I am not sure if any of you may be able to assist at all, I have been searching for my old Lotus Elise S1.
I purchased this car on my 21st birthday some 19 years ago and started looking for it just before my birthday this year the big 40! I managed to find it on a site for sale but unfortunately am not sure if it sold. The site did not allow for contact with the seller directly, link to the site here http://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=9007
At that time from what I can see the car was located in Meopham, Kent based on the advert, I have seen that it was recently MOT'd on 14th September 2017 and is currently declared SORN.
Any help you could provide to try and locate the owner and get me in contact would be appreciated as I would love to purchase the car from them if they are still selling it.
I have also posted on SELOC and various other forums. Am scanning Ebay, Pistonheads, Auto Trader you name it.
Fingers crossed the car has crossed your path at some point in the last year.
Thanks
Peter

Finally found the car, its in Bristol and for sale!
Security deposit paid and going to see it in the next 10 days.
They said it has had £3k work done to the cylinder head by Paul Matty, any ideas what it would be for that amount?
What specifics should I look at on the car? They say it is all in great condition. Only done 15 miles in the last 3 years as has been stored away except for MOTs.
Its chassis number 49 on a P reg, done nearly 61000 miles and all original.
Up for £12,995

Spooky - had to post as I was wondering what happened to my S1 (99 Azure Blue) and found Cazana - which showed it still existed - whereas the Exige S1 I replaced it with disappeared after I sold it (I think it got exported)
Anyway hope you have fun getting your old car back - my late father bought two of his old cars back in later life - one all the way from Puerto Rico!
I have a dream of getting mine back and fitting a Honda engine - which isn't too costly really compared to buying an Evora - only can't fit the children and the wife in though!
