Early and original S1 Elise wanted for PH Heroes shoot
Discussion
Hello!
We want to do a PH Heroes on the original S1 Else in its anniversary year and wondered if there's anyone out there with an example of an early car in original (or as close to as possible) condition they'd be able to put forward to 'model' for the shoot.
In terms of location we're reasonably flexible but the writer and snapper are Midlands/south based so if it were vaguely in that direction it'd be preferred. We'd probably need around half a day of your time and - if possible - a quick refresher at the wheel though little more than that. We're not looking for the full 'roadtest' beans! We can insure for this.
Light and weather are obviously additional challenges at this time of year and we'd be looking to do it ASAP and on a weekday so some flexibility would be handy. Obviously you have the honour of your car representing the Elise on PH and we can supply copies of the pics for posterity too so hopefully there's someone out there willing and able. Drop me a line if so!
Many thanks!

Hi,
Not an S1, but I have just taken delivery of a new Elise '20th Anniversary' model - might make a nice counter point to the original? Car is in Saffron Yellow and I'm based in Kent, reasonably available mid-week for anywhere within a few hours travelling. Just a thought.

Peter - that is indeed a thought and I'll be in touch. Can you ping me a mail so I can add you to the list of folk who've responded.
Further to that thanks to everyone who has replied and put a car forward; there are clearly a lot of passionate Elise owners out there and it's much appreciated. It has indeed inspired a bit of a follow-on plan to hopefully get you all a voice in the coverage but I'll be in touch on email about that.
Suffice to say I think we're now sorted for an Elise one way or another!
Cheers,
Dan

If it falls through let me know. Have some time off and am available 17th - 19th of November if that helps. Oxfordshire based. Car is a 1999 s1 in silver looks fairly standard, mildly modified 33k miles. I say mildly - 160bhp k series (by dva), close ratio gearbox, Nitron dampers. Stuff like that.
