For the smart@rses, "Elises," includes anything built on the Elise extruded aluminium chasis - Elise. Exige, 340R, 2-11 etc.

Just interested to see how many of 'us' there are on the site for the banter/enthusiasm for the 'brand'.

I take it the "Elise" option includes the VX220 as that was built on the S2 chassis?

Liked the first one I had so much, sold it and bought another one designed by the originator 40 odd years before and sold to someone who wanted to continue making them......

Sold my Exige a couple of months ago so I am 'Eliseless' for the first time in nearly 8 years. I have since flirted with the idea of a number of other interesting cars (M3, Caterham CSR, 996), but have increasingly come to the conclusion that if I get another toy car it is going to have to be a Lotus, probably a 240PP Exige. Just love the whole Lotus thing :)
