Be careful. One test drive in an Elise and I gave up mogging. DW's fault he lured me to Hethel along with Graham and Jays back in Aug 2012.

It was. Followed by an enjoyable drive around part of the north Norfolk coast the following day. I'd still like a seat in an Evora...

To all who addressed the original question asked many many thanks. I wondered what it would take to swop my low leaf spring (on my side carrying 16 stone driver ) over to my passenger high side (carrying 8 stone). Then at least when I get in the car it would looks and ride level. I am told that the springs can be swopped over and are interchangeable but its a big job. Also I am not sure what would be needed in terms of workshop equipmeny. (ie axle stands, jacks etc). Does anybody have a view or a source that describes a leaf spring change process bearing in mind that both springs would have to be off at the same time to facilitate the swop so the good/high spring is under the heavy b*****d (moi). Alternatively a good mechanic in the Oxford area that could do it for me.
You need to try Toni Dwornik. He's based near Horton cum Studley. 07970 861117 There's not much he can't do.

Oh yes!  For a week a few years earlier it was my "local" - we rented a cottage not far away... Lovely village, gradually sinking into the North Sea.

I have R&R rear Morgan springs many times. Not rocket science. But You do need tools. If You would like to give it a go. I will give You instructions offline. wmbutton@gmail.com But if You don't have basic Mechanic Skills, You will be better served by one of the Morgan Mechanics recommended by TM.

An Elise is a great car but wish it was made out of ali rather than grp and also the engine sound is disappointingly dull ! Its all about handling ! Compared with a Morgan the current engine may sound a bit dull but delivers 0-100 mph in 10 seconds, I'm on my 3rd Elise (this one a S1 with Rover K series ) besides the superb handling they are more practical than trads with reasonable (and secure) luggage capacity a roomy footwell and glass side /rear windows. If I was going back to Pickersleigh Road it would probably be a 4/4 but my wife has decided she doesn't like being buffeted so top down motoring is out
