Whats interesting me is that the misses wants a mazda 6 again and they have nice one for a reasonable price, plus id be looking to trade an 05 zetec focus it would be much easier to get the two cars at once

I think the guy that runs that place is a guy called Mark. I know of at least 1 SE'r that bought an immaculate S1 from him about 3 years ago. I am sure another SE'r may have traded in their S2 to him a couple of months ago.
I am pretty sure that Mark would be up for a deal if you approached him.

Just had another look at it - that magnolia on the dash is boggin'.

Agreed - plus the magnolia would be a cnut to keep clean on the sills - see the scuff marks already

/not that I'm looking at cheap S1s much, honest - faction

That car has been up for sale for a while now. Why has it not sold?.There are plaenty good one for that price, even at Pure Lotus in Yorkshire. I not saying its not good, its just there are plenty to choose from.

Good Luck

I've looked at a couple of S1 Elises in Braidwood over the last year or so and they were both complete dogs.

One of them was a W plate S1 which was described as 1 prev owner, FSH, immaculate, £8495. It was a total shed and in really poor condition. It had actually had 3 owners and according to the service book it had only been serviced once, about 5 years ago. The salesman was a really decent guy and he called up the previous owner to let me chat to him about the car 'never really bothered servicing it, cost too much money. Gave it an oil change myself last year though.' Not exactly FSH.

A few months ago they advertised a 40k 2002 S2 with FSH (

) for £10995. I called up a day later and it was sold. A few days later it appears on Pistonheads advertised privately for £12995

.......and it's still there....http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/263975.htm

I guess what I'm trying to say is be wary if you are travelling a long distance to view anything that they have for sale but if you live locally then it's well worth a look, might be a gem.
