Elise hire

[Fordo]

Would anyone know of a good company to use to hire an elise for a weekend? preferably in the london area.

You could ask track-club for their Elise 190. It's a track car, but road registered. Not sure about insurance, etc but can't think of anybody else for less than about a grand. If you do find anybody that has reasonable costs, could you post their info up, as I'd be interested too (may help sway the misses )

Its been asked for many times. I think that the options available are extremely limited, one or two comapanies that do, do it. However I think the prices of the rental was prohibative.

have a look at www.classic-car-hire.co.uk/cars/lotuselise.htm

based in Yorkshire or Oxford. Dont have any experiance of what they are like, i got in touch when they had an old page advertising a Caterham 7 for hire.

Peter,

I looked into this once upon a time and I seem to remember that the price for a weekend was not too bad. However, you only got 50 "free" miles then you started paying extra for each mile covered (50p - £1 per mile I seem to remember).

Knowing how much fun you can have in an Elise over a weekend things could get very expensive very quickly!

i'll find out where my dad hired one from once, although it was near manchester (a grey S2 ST, brand new at the time) it cost about 300 quid for 3 or 4 days IIRC

Thanks guys, will continue to do a bit of research. Its my gfs birthday in a few months, and she has a big thing for elises. Only real big problem i can see is insurance...she'll be 18!
But hopefully can insure it in my name and add her on at extra cost. Will ring up a few of these hire places and try and negotiate.
