My original post -

Test drove an A110 Pure yesterday and have to say was very impressed having owned 2 Elise’s and an Exige in the past.

Am thinking of ordering a Pure but wondered what existing owners think of the model and any ‘must have’ extras?

TIA

Many thanks, really helpful

[s111dpc]

Really helpful, thank you.

Thanks Glen, main thing I’m struggling with is whether it’s worth going with the 18” wheels and updated brakes. Car would only be used on the road and not tracked so thinking probably not at this stage but welcome others thoughts.

No not too late and really helpful write up thank you, Especially relevant as despite previously owning 2 x Elise and an Exige my current ‘fun’ car is an MX5

Hoping to put an order in around March/April all being well.

[s111dpc]

Well the deed has been done, deposit put down on an A110s this afternoon, delivery expected in June, going to be a long wait

Anyone want to buy an MX5

[s111dpc]

Lol, fair challenge

I was planning on speccing a Pure with the following, sports exhaust, mirror pack, parking sensors, blue calipers, Focal audio and steering wheel with blue trim. But then went to the dealers again and started looking at the S properly (they had 3 at the dealers) and really liked the black and orange trim, plus it comes fully kitted out with all the option I was considering. So after running the numbers a few times and doing a bit of man maths I signed on the dotted line for an S in Glacier white with the mirror pack.

Wow, sounds like a fantastic trip, enjoy!

[s111dpc]

Looks good, open to commissions

^^ Congratulations. Be great to see some pictures (including the cases) and to hear you get on. June seems a long way off still......

Good luck for this weekend hope the weather holds off for you. Just had confirmation mine’s been built and should be with Martins in the next 8 weeks. Starting to get excited now

Very nice

First picture on my new car - due to be collected new weekend, lockdown permitting!

At the risk of appearing insensitive giving the current situation, I picked up my new 110s this afternoon. Was a fun 50 mile drive home, but I fear it will be the last time I drive it for a while. Keep safe everyone.

[s111dpc]

I can’t speak for the 17” rims as I went for the S which comes with 18’s as standard, but as far as the bucket seats are concerned they are very comfortable and I’ve not felt that adjustables would have been better. As a comparison I had buckets on my three previous Lotus and the Alpines’s are more comfortable and feel more secure.

Only 1.3k?? I pick mine up on the 7th and will probably do close to 2k in a month

I’m trying to be good Jason! That said I have a 500 mile round trip to do next week so will be able to stretch it’s legs a little

Will have to pop along to the dealership sometime and take a look at yours, I do like in the grey
