Oldest Elise

[andybuk99]

Having not seen a lot of elderly S1's around recently I am just wondering who owns what age of car.

Mine is 21/12/1996

There's a bloke on SELOC that has the first customer car.

That made this a shortlived thrread

Aha- he didn't ask about the oldest- just what age yours is. So this could go on to be the longest ever!!

I see he pre-empted this answer given the title of the thread wants to achieve something different to the question within the thread.

Genius!

I wonder if the Hethel hack is still around?

Pretty sure this would get the highest mileage prize winner. IIRC this mustard yellow S1 was available for anyone to sign out if they promised to put enough miles on it. Interior looked terrible lol but this was long while ago.

yeah I think its still going and Dave Minter took it past 250K miles last year...well I remember reading something similar...lets face it, theres nothing to rot, so other than the usual consumables it should go forever

Provided you regularly give the chassis glue a good rubbing-down with toothpaste to keep it in good nick eh?

Old Elises never die, they just get better suspension.

A chap called Howard in NE Kent owns the Elise from the Geneva Motor Show, the first ever Elise. It's going to be at Hethel for this years' 60th celebrations too if you want to see it in the flesh.

Mine was first registered 23/11/1996, I was told that it's quite an early one.

Thought Dave Minter's was "Ruby" so named because of the colour...
