Anyone know this s1?

Hey gang,

Speculatively looking at Elises and came across this, just wondering if it was anyone on here?

No but that looks like well worth having!

To many miles on it. Why it's so cheap.

Miles dont really pk ut me off, most Elises are more like triggers broom anyway. As long as the tub is good and suspension is good. I'd rather have a well cared for 90k car than a not so well looked after 50k car.

I wont be adding much anyway, probably 1500 a year or so max. Just started to look now (worst timing) and dont have space at the house for a 3rd car atm so will probably end up doing nothing as usual!

What you say about the tub is true but the market for S1's is starting to split. Low milage original cars are commanding a premium right now and anything with average milage, which this one is, any mods however subtle are not making the same money.
I would rather have a well sorted with choice mods than standard but what do I know.

Miles don't matter. Service history does. I would prefer to have a well cared for high miler than an under used under maintained low miler. Of course, it will not have as much value when you come to sell, but you win when you buy.

That looks like a decent purchase to me. Don't recognise it.
