BigD's old Elise

Post by IanD » Wed Oct 25, 2017 7:39 pm

Looks like it's been a bit too fast for someone :(
Sure there can't have been many 53 plate 111r, one less roadworthy one at moment.

Aw that’s a real shame. Great car that and defo my old one.

Expensive at that price though.

Should’ve kept the stripes on.

Yeah but they can fix it to paint stage for £999 hahaha... that needs a front clam and every other panel needs a repair, a lot if work for a grand! also it'sll need a wheel or two and unsure of any chassis damage so a bit of a gamble :roll: There was one on the market recently the same spec cat D (Repaired) at £17K I'd love a supercharged 111R! :love

Don't we all do such stuff?

The only variations being the subject/content of the searches...

..Mrs B says "you've got your car, why are you still looking?"

I reply "just keeping abreast of the market, my dear"

Yes good to be informed and just looking and thinking what the man maths plan could be ...
No immediate plans though.

Usually do a few pistonhead searches at some point each week while on my train commuting.
At moment do occasional Elise,Evora and 968 to see what is happening, added Exige S3 a few weeks ago :) .

Had hankerings for Focus RS mk1, BMW M3 CSL, Megane R26.R, 987 Boxster Spyder to try them out so used to search them, M3 CSL used to be £24K now they are double or treble that !!
Probably over most of them now but a non mint, therefore acceptable to drive it 987 Boxster Spyder might still be nice or maybe one of the above lotus.
