Hello.
In the '90s I worked on the prototype tub for what became the Elise. I vowed to buy one, someday. It took almost a quarter of a century, but here it is;

It's an S2 Sport 135, 18k on the clock, previously owned by a retired RAF wing commander (!) As you'd expect, it's just about perfect. It drives totally different to any Morgan I've ever had - very light, changes direction instantly, you feel like you're sitting in the middle of all the action, it's noisy, really noisy, and screams it's K series off on the Motorway. Brakes are incredible, steering is so good I am sure you can read things painted on the road (but choose to ignore things that say SLOW). I would say an Elise makes a great stablemate to a Morgan, they're both brilliant at what they do, and have flaws that you love because the rest of it is so wonderful.
I'll post up more if anyone is interested?
