Collectible, desirable, but a Sport 135 is friendlier, more useable and rarer.
I can't understand how any 160 could be worth £29k?
Woody has one. In bits. Yours for £15k?!

With the prices people are asking for even run of the mill old stuff (have you seen the price of Mark 1 Mexico/RS1600s?) It's not surprising.Also talking up the price of old cars has been going on for years.
If you look around there are very few unmolested S1s out there (last time i was at a trackday of the seven (IIRC) S1s there, 6 had Honda engines).
But the rule is the same as always - if you think it's too dear don't pay it
PS I know where there is a one owner very early Elise (1998 i think) - it's not for sale though.

Thanks for that
If he/she has a change of heart, please give me a shout, stop me from buying a Cerbera

I suspect the cheapness won't be 'much' enough to suit me

I have perhaps confused "cheapness" with "value".
Astonishing value.
Remember quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten..
(And where will you find a Lotus more carefully looked after? Not to mention Campbell drives like my mum!)
