Guys, I admit it I made a mistake.
A few months ago I sold my Elise as I was starting a new job in Milton Keynes – the result was a Smart Roadster. I was content with it until the weekend just gone when someone is a dark purple S1 (P90 TUS I think) shot past me. It sounded awesome, so now im back on the hunt to rejoin the Elise clubJ !!!!

Just a few questions.
Im going to have c.11k to spend, and really want a low miller (20k to 30k), ideally in black!!!
I know that isn’t a lot of cash, but im hoping that if I wait until after the summer prices may drop – Is there a time of year when historically Elise prices drop, and what can expect to get for my cash?

Hope to hear from any of you guys soon!

Wait until winter, save up 2.5k more and make me an offer

S Works, your car is exactly what im looking for, but im afraid I wont have access to 13.5k, even if i saved until next summer!

Bit of a shame that!!
The most i could get is 12, i best start looking for a basic Elise, i reckon the 111s is out of my league right now!

Cos life's like that mate Yep, I love the car, and indeed it does have some of the characteristics I loved from the S Works... very direct, changes direction instantly, corners on rails, sounds great... it's just a sh!tload quicker

If you happen to be down this way later in the year and still fancy it, you know where to find me
