Graham - I still have the Roadster, of course. The Elise was an itch which had to be scratched while there was still sufficient articulation in my joints.
For those whose main concern is investment potential, I buy cars to drive and enjoy (10k miles a year in the Morgan) and to hell with the depreciation! You cannot put a price on the enjoyment (and frustration) you experience, and, as they say here, "you are a lang time deid".
Don.
