100K. For 4K (max) of engine work in a VVC, 4K suspension kit, plus donor (...)
Wow...I guess you never spend time in a workshop and saw bills and watched the clocks...
Upgrading a car takes serious time and effort.
The level of perfection here is 'a bit more' than just get an S1 and stick better parts on...
Just because people are too lazy, or too busy doesn’t mean what’s being charged isnt ridiculous.
But be my guest.

Funny that list also appeared around the same time. Elise S1 production ended in 2001, so this could also have been included as one of the pricier options.

I would love a go in one to see what it's like. I've often wondered on what the best/ultimate Elise/Exige variant might be, 340R, 2-eleven, K20 S1 S1 vs S2 or even S3, etc etc. This sounds like it is in the mix. I mean, they all are depending on your preference.
I doubt AA are expecting the full build to be a volume seller, but anyone looking for their 111 based keeper with the funds to spend would surely want to test one.

I’d be interested in seeing what the hourly labour rate is. That’s a pretty important factor with a restoration. £50k per car?
How many weeks?10 weeks x 40 hours = 400 x 60 euros = 24,000 + VAT + parts + testing
If I want a 'bespoke' and tested set of Intrax on my 916 Spider it'll set me back 5k: and that's just a switch from old stuff to new bits...
This Lotus upgrade is a ground off resto + fresh parts which are calibrated to perfection
Go on and please offer me similar quality then. It's not going to happen.
Every workshop will charge a 100k-ish figure for an Escort Mk2 update, a 911 restomod, a 105-series Alfa rallye car...
I’m with everyone who thinks that this is expensive, but my thought is that £100k ( or presumably £83k plus vat ) is a whopper for an Elise - For anyone who has owned one, we will all be aware that whether it rattles or not is unlikely to make a big difference, the driving experience is raw, noisy and breezy - A restomod like this is never going to dramatically change that.
I’m sure it costs Analogue serious money to produce this great bit of kit, I’m just mindful that an Elise will never feel like a £115k car, so it really is a big indulgence

As above, I imagine a large chunk of the cost is going to be labour to implement a nut and bolt rebuild. I'd also characterise it as a 99% effort. Whereas you could probably spend less than £15k (plus the car) and get 80% of the effect. I have no doubt it drives superbly, but I also know I couldn't tell the difference between a well set up Elise and a perfectly set-up Elise, especially not on the road. Even tyre pressure is going to massively affect the feelings between two cars. This feels like the price tag is most important when it's extensively mentioned by the well heeled owner at an exclusive trackday.
For me, I'd also want new indicator stalks for £100k, as opposed to Astra items...

6 pages of drivel as usual!
As an Elise fan, I've bothered to take a look at all the reviews, videos and actually looked at the facts rather than skim-read, mix in preconceived stereotypes, and spew nonsense onto the keyboard.
You can go to Analogue and simply pick bits you want, and affix them to a regular Elise. You don't [i]have[i] to spend £100,000.
There's also a criminal under-appreciation on here for the amount of labour that goes into these projects, as well as the R&D on any proprietary work. Analogue for example reckon they have nailed the reliability of the K-Series, which is a big deal. Likewise I'm guessing their suspension componentry isn't just taken from Elise Parts.
I'm glad they have stayed true to the roots of the car. The K-Series is a great engine, and in VHPD form sounds the nuts. It's also really light, which means a K-Series car will always handle better than an Elise with a different engine fitted - surely the essence of the car.
Congratulations for Analogue Automotive. Certainly going to make the effort to come see you with my Elise in the future.
