Yep. That’s really it. No encore.

The sequel is in the editing suite and they are not looking back Image

Looking at the updated configurator this afternoon I hope the engineering teams do more QA on the production line than they do on the PDF export function :lol:

Seriously though, end of an era :( its sad. Clearly interested to see if this add stock to the used market as its slim pickings at the moment.

Yip the 240 is pricey. The base Cup 250 spec ends up at 51k so its not a massive leap albeit with no options. Build slots maybe an issue though for the cup. may have missed the boat on that already.

The other issue is that is Alpine and Cayman money too.

Spec'd up a 240 Final Edition, very much based upon my old 2006 111R. Came in around £53,475 or £57,375 (with titanium exhaust).

Could have probaby have skimped on some options however but still a lot of money for an elise. Especially when the S3 Exige waa going to be £52k back in 2013.

£49600 was £31000 in 96. ‘Much was a fruity Elise back then?

I think the Sport 190 was £29k

Sport 160 must have been £27k

My loaded std S1 was £25k in 1999

Thanks for posting this. He is a great reviewer, asks the questions that need answered I always feel.

New dash looks better on video than I expected too.
