No regrets from me (or my wife who found the Elise too track focussed).

You will get different opinions ,but personally, I like the S1 'original' look complete with 'gangster' roof, centre lock wheels and lower boot lid.

After the S1, the cockpit was widened slightly and the boot lid was raised (a la whale tail) together with other revisions.You can search TM for a 'buyers guide' which is very informative and useful.

My advice is to get a car with a few miles and regular use on it rather than a 'garage queen' as they don't like sitting around unused.

Any other queries, fire away - there are several S1 owners on the forum who will be happy to help....

Interesting that a number of us have had Lotus backgrounds ... I have had a 111S, a 111R and a 340R. All great cars, but the Aero S1 has been the best experience and like others, likely to be kept until infirmity stops me getting in and out!!! Hopefully a wee while to go yet!


Respect Ian notworthy

the 340R is proper hardcore - did you have the heated jacket and trousers?
