I’m now the proud owner of this early, low mileage S1 Elise…Sympathetic overhaul tread to follow. It also serves as basis to develop and test replacement/upgrade parts, which are no longer available or not offered anywhere else…It will never have anything other than a K series in!!

Ummm, well. Work got in the way of updating this thread, as customers cars always had to come first.
We did a few bits that were needed, to get on top of things, new exhaust, new MOT, etc. Then in the space of a couple of months, possibly not in this order, I completely fucked my knee up. Struggling to get in my daily, let alone an S1 Elise! Then we got offered an Emira at a can’t say no price. Then another customer walked in and offered a can’t say no price for the Elise. We still have access to it for a while, so it’s currently parked up under a cover in the storage area at work.
Sad that it’s gone - it really is minty mint and would struggle to find another - but more than happy that I have access to an Emira, that I can get in and out of like a normal person. Rather than looking like a bit of a knob and having to get up off the floor!

Thanks for the update! Sorry to hear about the dodgy knee but delighted you are enjoying the Emira.
