Replacement Elise

[markizok]

Guys,

Took out an exige last weekend and it was very good, but after going out in a 111r i fell in love - some much better than my old 111s!

Anyway, so a 111r it is, just a few questions:

- is it massivly different to the 111r?
- when did the 111r elise start coming with electric windows and pro-bax seats?
- my budget is £20k but i would prefer to spend as litte as possibe so any thoughts on what i should be exdpecting to pay for one with c. 20k on the clock?
- Really want red so if anyone is sellling..........

Cheers
Mark

111R always came with Electric windows I thought? ProBax seats in the 111R/R are MY06 onwards (Don't go based on year, always always ask which model year it is)

While there has been rumour of possibly a S3, Lotus are adamant that the priority is the Eagle 2+2 late next year then the Esprit replacement the following year. They then reckon it would be the S3 Elise but bear in mind that the S2 came out in 2001 it would then be over 10 years old so who knows. The main change for next year are in the different packs that will be available.

111R's didnt come with electric windows as stanadard until the Touring Pack was standard. Mine is the basic model, no Touring Pack so no electric windows.
As to when the Touring pack became standard, I dont know

No leccy windows here either. But that's good - one less thing to break and less annoying if you want to wind the window up/down with the ignition off!

The windows work with the ignition off in my 111S. It's only once the immobiliser has cut in that they don't work any more.
