Don't know anything about either of them mate but they're at opposite ends of the market.
The green one at Westover's looks good: The interior isn't to my taste but its a well done job (by Lotus) and the Nitrons are good for track work. If its been as well looked after underneath its a nice car.
Not too sure about a 79k boggo car for £6.5k. Interior could be well worn and lots of other bits well past their best which is possibly reflected in the price.
(Don't forget my Mantra: Good S1 Elises cost £10k).
Sad to hear its not for you

Its really hard to make a judgement with out seeing the cars. As Tipper mentioned, any S1 has the capability to generate large bills as they're all at least 9 years old now. On the face of it the green one has been well looked after and may need nothing doing. However if the silver is mechanically sound, £3500 could pay for an awful lot of cosmetic work.

That was just teasing. Dont know and now I dont care (SULK)

[Janitor]

Thanks Tim & Gad

Beachy & Gooby - I know fellas... I know...

The Westover ad claims it has electric windows but that does not tally with the pictures.... would make me question what else may not tally!!!!

[Janitor]

Good spot Grinnders

I was at the showroom today and the Westover one has a sold sticker.

[Janitor]

Is that a cryptic way of saying you bought it as a spare mate..?

Drove past Westovers at the weekend, KTM X-Bow in there. First time I have seen one, very nice.
Anyone got any experience of them ?

[TIPPER]

Clive, worth a look in the classifieds today for your mate(non-premium ads).

[Janitor]

Your car appears to be listed Tim... what's that all about fella..?

[TIPPER]

Says it in the ad really Clive. I've been treading water for a couple of years and its starting to get to me.
I need a little bit of capital to get a small business venture going. Very sad as a lot of love and work has gone into that car and she's going so well. I'll be back though.
