New Member - Searching for an S2.

Post by S6GGO » Sun Sep 01, 2013 2:45 pm

Hi,

I have put a similar post on Pistonheads, and it was recommended I join up here.

I have been a big fan of the Elise since the launch of the S1 but never had the oportunity to buy one. However, the time has now come to start the search.

I am looking for an S2, max 16k but of course if I could pick one up for anything less I would be happier.

Are there any Elise owners in the Fife/Tayside/Angus/Edinburgh or Dumfries and Galloway areas who would be willing to show me around their cars? Just so that I could get an idea of what I'm looking at as all of the cars for sale are a fair distance away from me.

Thank you in advance,

Steve

This is over your declared budget but not too far to travel to research your purchase

immaculate and low mileage

I've only been a Elise owner for 6 months, but your welcome to come and have a look at mine. I'm in Dalgety Bay. Drop me a PM and I can send my contact details.

Russell at RPM is a decent guy who is a real car nut. Just beware you may leave with a Morgan or a Caterham :-)

H8OAG - Thanks for the link, that looks like a great example, I might well pop over and have a look. Might be worth breaking the budget for....

Renny - Excellent, thank you for the offer, I will definitely be in touch, I'm currently away with work and will be back around the 18th September. I would really appreciate a look around your car.

Cheers

I'm based in Edinburgh. I've Got a 2007 S2 you're welcome to have a look around - it's more or less standard spec, so should give you an idea of where to start.
Also might be worth speaking to Brandon at Murray Motors.

There must be something good on TV - showing off their cars is most members' favourite thing...
