where have bold clours gone
Discussion
Interesting that - I thought about ordering my 111R in chrome orange but the dealer talked me out of it (Strattons) saying I'd never be able to sell it on... I went for red in the end (would have had to wait longer for another colour) but think the Elise / Exige really suits the bolder colours...

You baught an Elise to sell on? .. Traitor
LOL Malts,
I quite agree, Chrome orange is the way to go on the S1. Looked high and low for a chrome orange S1 111s. They are out there!
I also love the Krypton / Scandal Green, never seen it on an S1 though - must be very rare!
I think if I ever got an S2 Exige, I'd deffo go for Krypton green, think it looks awsome.
I also think you'd always shift any Elise in the brighter colours, there are plenty of buyers out there that love them. One could also argue that they are more likely to sell second hand because there are fewer of them and the demand higher?
Been no help I know, sorry, but do keep looking!

Dealers discouraging people from getting the car they want? If any dealers are reading this and have ever done this will you please stop this self defeating stupidity please? Tell you what, it's much better to sell all the cars in silver, this way they will look just like a BMW. Having your cars sell in bright colours makes them noticable, and this in turn gives a brand exposure at no cost to the brand or the dealers. Makes sense to me.
Anyway, Chrome Orange is the way to go on any Elise or Exige in my view.

Have a look in current issue of Top Marques (Issue 274), page 60. There's a Scandal Green Sport 160, 2000 W Reg with 27,000 miles. Doesn't have a price in ad, and is in Falkirk but must be worth a trip to papershop at lunch time!!
I saw the 'Arrods S2 at the factory, looked like a military issue Elise to me!

Hi All,
I've got a Chrome Orange S1 111s. I must say I've never seen another one on the road. I think the colour is great (it's the first thing most people comment on) but the wife thought I was bonkers when I first brought it home!

If I had a S1 I would have had it in either Orange, Yellow or Lime green
I wanted Yellow when I brought my 111R but Mrs boggy talked me out of it, next Elise Yellow or Krypton Green for sure

Although 'Arrods car was shockingly nasty, I think it'd be a shame if it was re-sprayed.
These special editions are cars that remind people of a specific time in their life. I remember seeing it at the factory when I'd just finished my apprenticeship there, and it'll always remind me of that time. So I think it should be left as is...... not saying I'd buy it though
