Hello all

You may have seen my ad before. However, I have been offered £12,750 for the car, so if anyone can beat that, it's theirs.

If you are looking for an Elise and are tired of seeing tatty crap, then look no further. I cannot stress enough, it is in FANTASTIC condition. I looked long and hard for this car, and saw many of various age and mileage, and this was the best by miles. Most Elises of 20k miles look scruffy as hell, with weak gearshifts etc. This one drives like new, has absolutely nothing at all wrong with it and has 40k mainly motorway miles. It looks gorgeous.

It has been looked after fanatically, has full Lotus main dealer service history from new. Doesn't need a service until May next year, has 6 months tax and MOT, recently had 4 new P Zeros, new shocks, and new brakes.

Spec is as follows:

Titanium silver metallic
Full leather
Alloy window winders
Driving spot lamps
Lotus Sports exhaust
K+N induction kit
CD/Stereo (bloody expensinve to fit).

Some pics (apologies the car was not clean in them):









I am based in London at the weekends, and Nottingham area during the week. If you are interested drop me an email, or phone me on 07779 231 547. PLease leave a message if I'm not there.

Oh yes, I may consider an Impreza in PX, but only if you value your car in the real world. This is a damn good price for this car, and you would have to value your car competitively too.

I know!! I think it must be the time of year though - people seem to think that these are horrendously impractical, but they're really not that bad. Mine is my only car, it is a daily driver, but unfortunately mainly gets used for ploughing up and down the M1 at the moment... Compared to a Scoob, they are almost free to run aswell. Well, not quite but you know what I mean

I've been really messed about by one guy in particular, so I've pretty much decided I'm going to buy an old Golf or something and lay the car up over the winter with the occasional weekend outing. I'll then sell it in May for way more and be fighting the punters off with a heavy stick!!!

However, if any of you decide you want to persuade me otherwise let me know. It really is a magnificient car and makes literally everything else feel bloated, overweight and unresponsive. You have to onw one of these for a while just to understand what truly great steering is like!

dead right about steering etc and running costs. Have both and Elise does twice as many miles per gallon, costs much less to service, doesnt eat brakes and doesn't give me back ache on a long journey, which the Subaru sometimes does. I have tried to make the subaru a bit keener with suspension but still doesnt come close on handling.
I know this will upset some, but in the dry across country, the Subaru can't live with it either!!!
Reckon you should get a cheap golf mate, unless you buy a hardtop, am sure you will get lots more come March.
