Needs all round pictures plus interior shots.
I'd itemise the features as bullet points rather than keep them in the body text.
I'd also suggest that itemising the costs including fitting may not be a good idea -£200 for a set of Mintex (I assume 1144 - so about 2hrs labour to fit (at,say, £45ph) - even I can manage pads all round in an hour!) is steep.
Just list what its got, highlight the servicing record - worth itemising that as well as the extras.
Also worth mentioning if the car has been tracked. Its a track special so peeps in the know will ask and want to know if any extra servicing has been carried out. On that subject, has it got uprated toe-links. Mention if it has.
I'd be inclined to get the wheels refinished too - it'll make the car look better and more desirable.
Best of luck with the sale and house buying.

Happens to the best of us mate. I know how much you love that car and how much joy it's brought you. I recall when you first got it. Never mind, get that house sorted and you'll be back in one again before you know it.

Cheers tipper, I pretty much paid top whack for everything as I'm a complete spanner numpty. I'll take alot more pics tmorrow, does the price seem good? Its done 1 track day most of which was me under instruction driving like a pansy lol !
No problem.When I didn't really want to sell my Alfa I just put up a long solid block of text: I got one enquiry in four weeks. When I needed to sell it I put up a proper ad and had loads. Same when I thought I was going to have to sell the Elise: I itemised everything on the car and recent work done: four enquiries inside 24hrs and a deal in pricipal done unless I was able to avoid selling. Unfotunately for the vendor I didn't need to sell but the Alfa had to go instead.
I'd mention the track day in the terms you describe above - clarifies it nicely!!
Can't help re the price: I've no idea bout S2s.
Sure it will look stunning with some decent pictures, try doing in a good location and without cleaning stuff in background.
Stunning car and as everyone else says bullet points, also showing service dates etc is a good idea.
Good luck and look forward to you getting another Elise....

just had a guy from brussels on the fone, the accent was hilarious all he said in a poirot style voice " It is in good conditio0n, No? " yes it is I replied... Apparently he's coming to the uk on wed to take home an elise but only has 13,250. I told him I'm not dropping just yet and he said he'd ring back on wed.
Do things like this really happen or would you (like me) be sceptical about the whole thing.
I have put on the bottonm of the advert that only cash will be accepted from overseas buyers.
