Scottish Elises

Cheers Mr Shug - aye it's been a while

Was very nearly another Caterham but an S1 is more useable and time to try something new!

Have since been reliably informed by the seller that this isn't the Hoyabusa as he knows of the car.....oh well easy mistake

I'll be wearing shoes

For the purposes of driving home from York I'll just layer up - might even put on the roof

Looks great and glad to see the number of SE S1’s are on the rise. Modern classic now, so thought I'd step in before the prices start to rocket :damnfunny The recent Pistonheads award won't do values any harm either, plus them starting to head over to USA :thumbsup (Wishful thinking I know :blackey...

Looks lovely, imo the best S1 Elise you can buy

Cheers Phil - always fancied this model (quite rare too, 319 made in total?)

Ross,

Looking great, especially being a 160. Always remember the 160 fondly after a choice between the 111S and 160 at MMC back in 2003.

Remember new garage pic are also welcome too

Thanks George - will do!

Ice cold, congratulations!!

Hope all well!!

Cheers Ed! A mid December drive home from York might be just that aren't the heaters meant to be a bit rubbish on S1s?

All good here thanks, hope all are well with you and yours!

So after all these years (I think around 20!) it would seem that I've bought a Lotus :lol: Liking the suggestion it just mysteriously happened rather than you sorted !! Looks good Well Ian I was also enquiring about an R500 Caterham which a deposit was taken on, and then this came up. Series 1 Spor...

Cheers Jim!

Coming to Glamis in the spring (I know you don't dig the Rhynd )

Thanks Dom.

That's a bit like Billy Connolly's prescription windscreen

Correct. Sunvisors are an S2 thing.

Baseball hat. End of.

Pretty car btw

You and I are of an age where a baseball cap could be considered a sartorial faux pas

And thank you
