The best looking car of the whole Elise range, and that is coming from a dedicated S1 owner.

But it is a tin top, and although I know it will come off, virtually no one ever does, so you will always have the caveman element that would not buy one.

I just can not imagine not driving a fresh air Elise.

Tut,

I totally agree, have no hankering for one, need the fresh air experience too! This would fit the bill, lovely car, so for those hankering after a Gareth a like mobile then this might be worth considering...

If you dont have a hankering to own an s1 exige theres something wrong :lol:

But it is widely documented that taking the roof off is of no interest to me :wink:

Just off out for a blast in mine!

Tut, 1600 ford sigma in a superlight i think or a 1.8 k series, 6 speed CRB seems to be standard?! Awaits Caterham gurus!

I have fallen in love though.... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/179003.htm :love :drive

Must admit that Gareths colour combination takes some beating, the colour co-ordinated dashboard and interior looked great.

BTW the aly one is a 1600 K with the Caterham 6 speed. Engine longitudinally mounted of course. Very similar car to FD's, Jason, and DaveB

6spd box std on the superlights and either a 1600 or 1800 k series, not ford engine.

I meant to add that I was speaking to Brod Crawford the other day and his S1 Exige is up for sale.

It's a Scholar 1900 K IIRC and will be pristine like his cars always are ;)

Funnily enuff lawrence I was speaking to him last sat morning at kh and he had his exige there, with a for sale sign. It is truly truly immaculate with as u say a circa 220bhp 1.9 scholar rebuild.

Loving the S1 Exige. :love

It may be worth driving just because it has new A039s on they are like rocking horse sh1t at the moment. :wink:
