I retire in a few months and considering treating myself to an Elise with a budget of around £15,000.
I'd always promised myself a Caterham, but after losing my rented garage last year, I need something that can be left outside.
I'm looking at a series 2, whilst not as pretty as a series 1, I think they're a better overall car. Engine wise, I'd like the K series, lighter and sound better than the Toyota sourced engines. I know their weakness of blowing head gaskets, but apparently there is a later head gasket which reduces this issue.
Tune / model wise, I'd want a 111S or a Sport 135.
After saying all the above, I'm more than willing to take advice from owners past or present.
