Been talked about before mate. It's the first factory Sport 190 that did the motor show rounds etc. I agree, they are being optimistic, but it's not a standard S1 or even a standard (if there is such a thing) S1 Sport 190.

Nah, it has a squint number plate - I'll leave it thanks.
Joking aside, I love it, but that price is,... well.. "dream on" indeed!

£10k less and it would still be overpriced

Great looking car ! in fact one of the best looking S1s i have seen. Crazy M F price no matter how special it is.

S1 Exige without the GT look? Naaaah I'd rather have an Exige and save £18,000 odds.... Very nice looking car mind but fek that's expensive, what would one guess that cost new? surely not a kick in the arse off that price? If it's a press car surely the first 7,000 of it's 17,000 miles would not have been the most sympathetic mile the car could have seen?

Crazy price but then some collector might bite.
1st version of the rarest edition of S1, in a unique and amazing looking colour scheme...

Would look good and provide paint protection too.

If my Elise ever needs a repaint, then it will be done just like this. I just love it

Recession is over and collectors are after cars. Seen the PH article about the 964RS that went for 200k euros?

On a similar but unrelated note....I was discussing the Type 49 with the wife at the weekend as I'd love one. She thinks it lacks class and looks like a chav car.
I think any of the two tone elise's look great but she well and truly burst my bubble

That bit already has plenty of paint protection on it...
I originally planned to have the lower half gold or grey, like a Muira, but chickened out and left it all green

:O
Can you negotiate by saying you're now thinking about an orange Focus ST, and settle on an Azure blue over white Elise ?
