That’s a good looking S2. Even the red roof doesn’t grate horrifically.

Looks awesome to me. I like the red roof on that colour car, it did cross my mind to swap my roof for a red one when my car was Titanium.

Get it bought.

I guess we can call it dark silver. On that basis you can go ahead with the purchase.

Red roofs on titanium/silver Elises (S1 and S2) are the only correct option.

Could be a bargain.

Im still not won over by the S2 tbh - i think i want to carry on looking for a good S1.

That dark grey with the red roof looks stunning, have always like that combo on the Elise.
Cheers,

Oh that, had he updated his twine yet or stopped stealing and ripping people off ?

I went to the Pistonheads thread after hearing about it from a chap into his drag racing.

He will just randomly join a group, everyone licks his bumhole for a bit and after they realise what he is about he goes somewhere else.

One in the same, he's generally harmless but believes his own hype and is his number one fan.

Still owes me £130 though :lol:

Obvs I'd never heard of him either. Look forward to reading this later, some very enjoyable swearing on that thread :lol:

i’ve seen this one, i like the look obviously, and the VHPD engine sounds interesting. i think it’s probably over priced as a bit of a “bitsa” type car, but wanted some expert opinions!

the dashboard with no stereo interests me - was this an option?

I’m reading up on Sport 190s, i’m presuming this isn’t one?

I think the biggest concern is why it wasn't taxed or MOTd between 2013 and 2023?? What was it doing for 10 years? I fact it I was MOT'd in 2023 but has never been taxed since 2013.

Wheels of correctness, but it's a big price for a car at a small trader with an odd history.
