I would say that is quite a good price for what is an almost new condition car. But I do seem to remember it being for sale months ago ( remember commenting that it seemed to sit quite high at the front)
Can't understand the thinking of buying a car to only do that mileage - probably cost £10k to do under 5 thousand miles in 12-13 years. Madness.

Could be all sorts of reasons for that. Could have been part of a collection or an owner who found himself unable to use it for whatever reason.

With the current prices of S1’s it doesn’t look expensive to me. Assuming there is a bit of haggle in it I’d rather pay £2 or 3k extra for an almost new car than for even a well maintained 45,000 mile version. I recon you’d get it back in lower maintenance / higher re-sale anyway.

If it's got a proper service history (ie annual servicing, not per-year) and has had other bits replaced over the years, it's probably a decent deal.

If not there will be costs of getting it to a standard that you'd like. I can't decide if the tyres are shiny with product, or shiny with being solid and 14 years old though

Erica's VX had 6,500 when we bought it (plus, it's a bit younger as a 2000 car) and the tyres were like driving on ice...

Personally I don't think its done enough miles.... that little use can't be good for a car of that age.... IMHO

Out of interest, what jacking points are they using at the back in the pic on the two-poster. Didn't think it was possible with the under tray on?

[Corranga]

I'm pretty sure I've had mine on axle stands at the back with the rear under tray still on, don't suppose it'd be much different with a jack?

Maybe they've fabricated some sort of extension to allow them to do it since they deal with so many Elise?

I reckon they're using the wishbone, right at the base next to the mount. I've seen Ali do that with a 4-point lift so I guess it's Ok if done with care.

That sounds right looking at the photot again.

Well it's got Konis on it and a placcy throttle body for a start

£15k is probably viable for a long-term collector. Quite a good example for such a person, with such a standard "original" spec.

But pointless for someone who wants to enjoy the car regularly. IMHO. Far more available at around half that cost.

Very nice all the same.
