@Rich B something like this, in addition to a more family-oriented vehicle would be a perfect match for your requirements.

And you’re back in the room.

Blimey, it goes against my normal approach but I tend to agree, though that and a cheap crappy hatchback with a towbar (for bikes) would work well in addition to the wife's estate (for family).

And can I have some orange sheeerrrrrberrrrrt...

Must have had some solid enquiries about the S1 by now @scotta? That will surely go quickly. I know Will Blackham was mad for S1s when I got mine, but I presume you'll get more from a private sale.

Will Blackham...Yeah...He offered £9k for it. GTF.

Wouldn’t he be better asking you to do a video walk around for him? :?

“Hello Mr X, this is your personal video walk around of this exceptional S1 Elise, resplendent in Silver. It’s been very popular - sixth video I have shot today... apologies for the pube on the steering wheel - due to Covid the boy who cleans the pubes off the steering wheels isn’t in today, but the leather underneath is unmarked except for the age-related patina you’d expect etc etc etc”

:shock: I do wonder why people love to sell him their cars so much, I always imagined he'd take a fair markup. I guess it's the convenience and speed of sale. Good guy to buy a car from anyway. :) He must be making an absolute wedge the amount of cars he was selling when I picked up mine at least.

He offered me £8k for my low mileage S2 a few years ago. I know a man’s gotta eat and all but I thought that was taking the piss a bit.

That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from him.

To confirm, I would bloody love that. Probably more than the Club Racer but I'm a luddite. Does the steering wheel have a bigger radius on the top than the bottom? Could just be the pics...

I like the red accents on the interior Scott, were those from factory or done down the line?

What steering wheel is it? I need a new one of those too.
