What Elise is this.....................

Can anyone shed any light on what type of Elise this is as it only states that it is an 'Elise', was there a standard Elise built with this namesake?

Type 72

Thanks. I have recently started shopping for an Elise and was unsure as to what this was.

PS: If anyone is board and fancies having a scan around all the usual dealers sites and picking out what you believe is a good Elise then that would be appreciated. I have a budget of around 17k (give or take a little). I have driven: 111R, 07 S & a 111S and liked them all so I am open to ideas

The S1 type 72 was a repainted 111s - have they done the same thing with the s2 i.e. - is this an s2 111s?

I was under the impression that the Type 72 was a standard car(k-series with 120 bhp) with a different trim level and paint job, i.e. Starlight black, gold alcantara, plus authentication plate as to it being the Type 72 variant.

And I'm picking one up tomorrow!

Looks like a type 72 lookalike to me. Maybe didnt even originally come with the wheels and seats that colour????

A dealer like christopher niel know what a type 72 special edition is and wouldnt make the mistake of advertising it as anything but.... check out www.elises.co.uk for pretty much the best model resourse. Then go and buy yourself a nice S1 160.....

They have advertised it on PH as a lookalike http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/223951.htm
