Any of these worth looking out for?

Is there a guide anywhere to the different editions and how they differ from standard (I'm guessing there is, but haven't found one)?

A couple of good guides linked below:

http://www.elises.co.uk/models/

Hazelnet also have a guide to the models

The 111s, 160, 135 and 190 are all sought after models (IIRC listed in order of rarity). The models listed all more than just a paint job and trim.

Off the top of my head summary:

111s - VVC engine, short ratio box, wider rear tyres, uprated seats, OZ wheels, 111s spoiler
160 - more aggressive geo and Lotus sport suspension, Lotus Sport modified engine, wider rear tyres, victory wheels, sports seats, 111s spoiler with raiser blocks
135 - more aggressive geo and Lotus sport suspension, Lotus Sport modified engine, short ratio box, wider rear tyres
190 - As per 160 but with a VHPD engine (cage?)

Sure there are other differences and I stand to be corrected on any of the ones I have listed. the 135 and 190 do seem to come with different wheel combinations.

I like the short ratio box in mine so I am biased to the 111s, although the look and idle of the 160 is fantastic. Mine is starting to look like a 160 as time goes on!

A 160 with a short box would be a perfect choice IMHO.
