Am I getting my cars wrong ? Wasn’t Brendan’s car in a bit of a smash ?
Edited to say: my mistake, was thinking of another person.

Things have moved on a bit since this. The disadvantage of the MLOC/BaT ‘garage’ approach is that it is merely a list of cars. We are trying to go a bit deeper than that and preserve the true history of the very limited run of S1 cars. Have a look at this thread:REGISTER
It’s up to you whether you join in of course.
Note to All: I promise to do some work on this over the winter so that it is all worthwhile…
Is this still going? have submitted my car details but not heard anything? This seams a mush worth while exercise as in 20 years the history of these cars will make interesting reading.
Yes, I agree, it’s important to start the records early. I have a lot of data now and my next step will be to formalise the records and, hopefully, produce something worthwhile.
There are still a load of cars not on the database of course - it’ll take years to catch them all, if ever, but we’ve made a start.

Hello everybody
It introduces my ELISE.
Hi and welcome
Hi guys
Have been trying to log on for ages as was on this site when first started when I got my exige in aug 2000.
I have car number #027 and have had it from new and still totally original
New aluminum
Blue alcantara
Still standard 177hp (can’t be many of those)
Lotus sports exhaust
has only been on track about 4 times and done 24,000 very easy leisure (posing) miles.
In fact the details are still in ‘owners cars’ on this forum back in 2000
Moved to cape town, south Africa 5 years ago and brought it with me. I believe there are only 2 or 3 here (none standard apart from mine) . Someone here has a mad one used for hill climbs with a 500hp engine I think.
Lotus is here in sa but only from elise2 onwards.
Broke the alternator belt and lost my locking wheel nut key back in march so has been at the back of the garage since then. Finally had the wheels drilled off and bought the belt from land rover last week and now using it for work this week after giving it a comprehensive clean (after feeling very guilty after reading Esprit’s blog (bloody amazing).
She still looks like new and stops traffic. I have some great cars in the garage, worth many more times the price of my exige… But my exige will always be my favourite and i will never sell it even though it has only had one owner (me) and is completely original. I like her that way
How do I get mine on the forum car register?
