Looks great but I lost interest the second I read '2025'.

Ah rubbish, sorry to hear this Dave.

Very simple, there's almost forty grand in the engine, gearbox and electronics package.

Yep this is the one.

Like all the adverts for unfinished projects that say "90% finished all hard work done just needs tidying" ??

To be clear - j/k

I fully intend to finish this one!

Still quite a bit of work to do, another 6 months minimum before it’s on the road, but it’s 80% there and more importantly I’ve spent 90% of the money I need to spend to finish it so the end is in sight.

Immensely so, yep!

9 years after I took it apart my elise is once again alive.....

Small cars are brill when it comes to buying parts. All of the above (service parts, suspension parts, exhaust) have come to a very reasonable £255.24. I'm sure there will be a few more bits needed but we should end up with a well sorted, freshly MOT'd car for < £1k 8-) :lol: Nice work. This week i...

As much as I’d like to keep it it will most likely get sold on.

Colour is Porsche gt3 green apparently.

It’s packed full of nice bits, clubsport nitrons, spherical bearings, tilletts and harnesses, modified k series, refreshed brakes etc

It’s really well sorted.

That’s HPE Ltd which only existed for me to contract to JLR - I’m a sole trader

Turns out what I really needed was another Elise

Well since (I belived!) the S2000 was sold to fund the finalisation of the R500, another car purchase makes no sense on the face of it. As such I look forward to an explanation! :lol: Well that was the plan but I accidentally swapped it for another car instead :lol: Ultimately this will have to go ...

It’s being delivered in the morning

No that arrived weeks ago...

its on a trailer on its way here.....somewhere in Scotlandshire right now..

You'll never guess what it is

No option for 'I have an 8 car garage that I spend 80% of my waking hours in'.

Don't talk about Dan's missus like that

I knew he didn’t mean her because he didn’t say Ginger Beast.

If only he knew someone who was selling one.

Too late....its gone!

Ooh, does that mean there'll be a big push on the beast?

Yep!
