The best S1 Elise is the 111s, but they're rare as hell. Doubt you'd lose much on it if you found a good one though. There's a very good Scandal Green Sport 160 for sale locally if that's something you're interested in, a well sorted an unique car, and nicely priced in between the standard Elises and the Exige. I'm sure the owner will pop up some details soon.

I think ScottyC said he was thinking of getting rid of his (well, Lindsay's) S1... that's well sorted so would be worth a look if it comes up for sale.

It's prime buying season, so there won't be many bargains around, but prices are holding well so you won't lose a fortune on whatever you buy.

I believe the owner is on here?
Just not sure if I can stretch that far as budget is 20k at the moment
The seller is indeed on here, Andy G, as is the new owner... Ferg :thumbsup I totally get the appeal of the S1 exige!

Can't fault your choice of an S1 Elise, mind gave me 5.5 years of glorious service. You need to keep on top of a few maintenance jobs but with support from this Forum and a trusted garage for the jobs you won't take on, you'll be fine.

111s and 160s are probable the best out the box but don't right off a good condition basic car and save yourself a few grand for upgrades.

Moving on was a very tough decision and an S1 Exige is quite a different proposition. :)
