If it's genuine, it looks extremely good value to me.

My only comment, would be that the steering wheel looks very shiny (could just be the pic) for 18k miles.

Naive question of the year, are they easy to clock? I know that Porsche, BMW etc are

[kambites]

I can't imagine they're particularly hard to clock although I haven't heard of it happening much.

Some cars had their stack units replaced because of failures when they were quite young, which I assume resets the odometer.

Have heard of the Stack feed being disconnected at the wheel end.

Looks to me like the car has an S1 style "Elise" badge on the rear rather than the S2 one. May be a good reason for it or maybe it had a crash and whoever repaired it lacks attention to detail or just didn't care and if so what else is wrong or overlooked? Get a specialist to check it out.

That's normal for a 111S of that age. At least it's the same as mine.
