Hello Aaron, firstly best of luck in advance selling. S1 are niche but definitely a market out there and S1 generically (including Elise) are making solid money now, average Elise seem mid £20’s now.

Re the grey car on pistonheads etc it’s sold. It moved around from from £35k-£47k price wise in the time I saw it on the market. Assume sold at low end of that. But it sounded like it needed a fair bit of tlc and had high miles (50k). There is a thread here about its sale

I didn’t quite follow its history/issues but clearly needed some care.

The other recent sale was on collecting cars

Mid 40k miles and to my eye again needed some tlc and sold for £42k.

My car is factory 190, similar miles / spec to yours with desirable options MS seats/harness and carbon air box etc. If I was selling it would be circa >£46k

Only my opinion but I hope helps.

Hi Aaron,
If you are looking to sell have a good friend of mine looking to buy an S1.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback James… I was not aware of the collecting cars sale…

Hi Kelvyn

Yes looking to sell… If you DM me I can pass on my contact details. The plan was to put the car up end of this month once the weather improves to get decent pictures.

Thanks

Aaron
