Looking for s1 Elise V448 DNG

[Speedy3112]

Hi all 

 

I’m trying to track down a s1  Elise I owned about 17 years ago , it’s a mark 1 in silver with blue alcantara and black leather interior , see attached picture, I have a feeling it’s on the south coast of England somewhere or possibly Bristol. I am in Norfolk and used to work for Lotus. Any help or advice on finding this car would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck on your search Lee. Some of us meet up at the Bird in hand if you fancy it sometime .

Hi Stuart , thanks for the invite , will be nice to get out once we get this lock down lifted , thing is I’ve sold all of my toys now , I did have an Aston and built a cobra. I used to go to bird in hand on a Wednesday car run with Stratton mo co. I’m looking for something to put in the garage hence the search for my old Elise... no luck yet though.

Hi David 

 

thanks for your message , yes checked that but all it tells me is that it still registered with DVLA but has no mot and sorned since August . If I had the reg doc reference number I could see where it was last mot’d but I don’t have it ☹️

[David James]

What about the link for the advert i sent you above. it has the pictures of the log book and mot certificates?

Thanks for that David i I missed your first post , that’s a good find well done 😀 It looks like it’s had quite a bit of work done over the the years .

Good luck, and let us all know the outcome 👍
