Bear in mind the adage, "A series 1 Elise costs 10K, regardless of purchase price". And that was a few years ago... and prices have been on the rise since then.
Nah, not really. They've been pretty flat, other than for the 160s and Exiges. S1 111S can just about be had for that. Normal S1s are from about 8k.
Don't be put off by miles, particularly if suspension work has been done (bigger expense and will happen to /all/ cars, unlike HGF).
111S has the upside of a close ratio gearbox too. S2s are the other way around (normal S2 has the CR box, S2 111S has the wide ratio box).
/edit to add - there's a slightly more expensive (but nicely modified) S1 on SELOC at the moment too
/not that I've spent far too much time looking at Elise ads recently
