Secondhand, £300 - £450 depending on mileage, how keen the vendor is to sell etc.

Well worth having!

I recall somewhere you could get a close ratio box for around £400 exchanging your original box. (was it Elise Parts?!)

I must admit, I thought long and hard about doing exactly the same thing - the overly long gearing, especially on mountain passes (which i love driving) really does pose a problem (ok, in the grand shceme of thigns it's not a problem, but I'm sure you fellow Elise drivers know what I mean ).
