Anyone have thoughts on the S1 for sale from here?
www.allonwhite.co.uk/Used-Lotus-Cars-for-sale/
On phone and had to type that link so apologies if that's duff btw.
Its a colour I lile, clearly has the 111s engine fitted. Dealer seems to be a morgan dealer that also does lotus - enough to be approved re-upholsterers for them.
Literally the only fault I could pick with it at face value is that the offside (driver's side) rear 3/4 shot appears to show window glass sits nowhere near where it looks like it should do - could this just be fouling on hood seals, or does it seem like a problem to anyone?
Exciting times.
Is it just me or is that engine missing the VVC solenoid. www.allonwhite.co.uk/Used-Lotus-Cars-for-sale/

An S1 111S would have a spoiler too.
Thread resurrection - after what feels like a lifetime of reading holes in the internet amd 3 months driving a 944 - I've managed to find myself an Elise.
After about a weeks worth of discussion, I ended up sending payment for a S1 111s in Spice Yellow - car needs a little recommissioning to get it to where I'd like, but it seems to be mechanically sound.
Will be driving this back home from North Wales tomorrow afternoon, with a boot and passenger seat full of parts.
Looking forward to getting to know the car - now I'm off to go and to a few hours of Twister to get myself ready.
Pretty excited.
