...............in the same place as I took pictures of the Elise a couple of weeks ago. Still looking good for an 18 year old and 105k miles, thank you Peter Stevens for that.











Just after I took these I noticed that part of the pop up light mechanism had gone awry again (now fixed, it's one of the few cars with the 'Opera' style headlights which are IMO more attractive than the later ones and the movement is great but they're a bd to set up right).

And then, five minutes after that I relaised that the fuel tank has done the thing that a few of them do and split slightly at the filler neck meaning it won't hold more than 3/4 of a tank. Areseburgers, its cambelt time next month as well.

Considering it's an oldie but a goldie...That interior still looks pretty damn "modern" to me despite the age. Well played O.o
