*edit* Just browsing piston heads - is this 111s anyone on here?: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/105397.htm

I know this car, friend of mine owns it. Tidy car - think he's after an Exige now.

You could, of course, come and have a look at my 1999 S1 135 (chrome orange, Avo suspension - adjustable, Mintex pads front, green stuff rear, good history, yoko A539s, k&n, janspeed, powder coated grey wheels) yours for £13k.... i'm near Inverurie. I'll PM you with my mobile if your interested....

like your thoughts... go for an S1!

dont know if your considering buying it? if so, as an only car??
i could not handle an S1 as an everyday car (during winter) - although some in here will flame me for that!

that 'looks' like a nice car - its a bit on the expensive side mind you if you compare it to my car i bought in October

It would only be a weekend car, i get the bus or walk to work so it would purely be for driving pleasure at the weekends

Re: prices just started looking again so not really sure what the going rate is, the more i search about the more i'll get an idea - but 9k seems like a pretty awesome deal!

I change my feelings every week on whether to get an S1 or S2 - i love the front of the S1 and the rear of the S2 - maybe i should just get a cut n shut of the two

It will ultimatly come down to which one is better to drive (for me) - that reminds me, DaveG - i need a shot of yours for the weekend to see what its like to live with

Sure! That reminds me, Steve Banks, I need a shot of your Exige for the weekend for the same reason!

yeah yeah shame on me

if my work was fairly local (all of the time) then i could do it, but i have to do a fair bit of mileage. im taking it to office tomorrow though - only cause we've got an covered garage in the town!

anyway, back on the subject - Stifmeister, get yourself an S1!

Quote:S2 light blue on a 52 reg 16000 miles Sports Tourer but the dealer said he'd contacted Lotus and they told him it was a std car with extras, drilled disks, 4 speakers (it hads an aftermarket Alpine head unit) carpets etc. and had a factory 135 upgrade.will phone lotus on monday

Lotus phoned today to say the car was a ex demo and had all the upgrades at the factory

Sneaky beggars upgrade the demo car to 135 then sell you a boggo 118 bhp...
