My S1 Elise-photoshoot by kman

[itcaptainslow]

Had a photoshoot done on Tuesday by kman (user on here-find him in the Herts/Beds etc section) before the Pistonheads meet, someone who knows what they're doing with a camera makes such a difference!

Had it for around 4 months now, done around 1500 miles including popping my Le Mans cherry. The Elise was my childhood dream car (I was nine when it was released) so I thought I'd "live the dream" before having to be sensible with things like "families" and "weddings".

I've no massive plans for the car apart from polish it, keep it, love it and most importantly-drive it!

great pictures and a beautiful car. Out of interest how do you find those tyres in the wet ?

[melvster]

Fantastic photo's, I can't imagine how fun that car is on the twisty roads.

Thanks tyres are ok in the wet as long as you give them respect and they have heat in them, they do not like standing water though.

Great photos, great looking Elise.

As above really. Lovely photos and great looking car!

I looked at an s1 very similar to this a while ago. This makes me extremely jealous. What rims are those?

The interior shots are my favorite. I dont like the location of the photos though, but fab shots none the less.

nice motor

I used to have the same Sony Xplod headunit in my old punto

That looks awesome. Reminds me of my Sport135 I had for a couple of years - sold 1 month before child no. 1 arrived (my wife was struggling to gracefully exit at that point...).

I need to get the audio sorted out-while I'm not that bothered about it the ability to listen to radio/CD's/MP3's even with difficulty is nice.

The wheels are Speedline Corse-nice and light and apparently rare for the Elise S1.

Which is why I'm determined to have mine a/ before kids arrive and b/ paid off when they do arrive so 'er indoors doesn't demand it's sold to pay for milking stations and other sprog related gear.

I'm not normally a fan of the S1, but with those wheels it looks fantastic!

Looking good Iain!

Looks great!

Smaller front reg plate would finish it off nicely
