An orange S1 for £7k could be a lot of fun! But ironically really low mileage S1s often need a lot of work to pick up the various areas that Lotus improved on with later revisions, so not always the bargain they seem.

Nonetheless, if cossetted in a garage and used on dry summer Sundays only, could be a steal.

But you just never know eh

I don't think either Gil or IainT cossetted the orange lolly in a garage, ever
