I have just registered on NYLOC and wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone. I've just recently purchased a red 2007 Elise 111S. I am over the moon with the car and it looks and performs great! Lee :wavey

Nice one Lee, that's a very late 111S - good model to purchase, but I'm biased :D

Lee you're correct, it's the 22nd and you'd be made most welcome to come suss us out without obligation.

There's not a right lot in it between the various Elise models until you hit the likes of the SC - and even then, in real world terms you're not far off.

Happy days.

Welcome lee. :bravo

Suspect your elise is actually the 5sp 135bhp 1zr elise(Toyota mr2 and celica) engine as apposed to the 111's vvc K series model.(which stopped production in 05-55).

Either way nice choice.. :woo .

Hi Lee, welcome to NYLOC. I live in the Burley/Kirkstall area of Leeds so not far from Morley. There are a couple of other chaps in the vicinity too. If you'd like to convoy up to the next Buckles meeting, give me a shout. Really pleased you're enjoying life with your Elise - they are such fantastic cars. :bravo

Old Lotus don't die they get fixed and if it cannot be fixed with a BIG hammer then you have an electrical problem.
