This is nice and low key.

Not much to know Dem.....Small, plastic body, Toyota 1.8 engine, 120 to 260 bhp no weight and more fun than you can shake a stick at. Base Elise can turn well over 30 mpg...Now theres a city car Dem.

Andy has a point dem, but your smart does get around 50 mpg didn't you say? I think a Lotus is a car you should definitely own if you consider yourself a car fan, they are most probably the most fun pound for pound cars on sale today. Only ever been in one Lotus, a S1 Elise 120 bhp, Mustard Yellow with a green roof, it was mega, wanted one ever since i went in it which was over 10 years ago.

Yes Dem, you can get an decent S1 Elise for 8k.....some say the base 120bhp is the best as well.

Can be a bit lethal on the limit as it will hit back at yu..This was dialed out of the mark 2....but there are lots out there that wouldn't have an S2 over an s1.

About 13k Adam....I paid £12000 for it and sold it for £12500...It probably hasn't lost anything and may have even gone up a bit.

well it was a 160 wasn't it? and they are pretty rare, let alone in kermit green, how many were made in that colour you had, roughly?

Not sure...Had the numbers somewhere....I think it was around 5.....May have been lower...Most were black, silver or blue...

5, bloody nora, no wonder you never see a green one for sale, i dont like the black or silver ones. Do you know who owns your old kermit now?
