Sorry, couldn't find it with a search, but maybe if I knew the name I could locate it. In a photo report on a meeting / road trip there were some great pictures of an Elise S1 which was practically sandblasted on the front and sills, with stickers seemingly holding the rear flanks together. Not a look I am aiming for, but I like the "well-used and well-worn" message behind the picture. Trying to track it down again.

I think the thrash-it-til-it-dies mentality is quite admirable. If i could afford to do it i would!

I think the knackered one you are referring to is Tut's. Look on scottishelises.

Or on this thread

That's the one. Thanks for the pointers to the right thread.

I like it. I hope my Speedster doesn't end up like that too soon, but if it eventually does, I won't be too distressed.

Brian's? He's got a dark green S1 with a Ford Duratec conversion and it's pretty battered. Don't think he's got any stickers on the back though.

off to find a photo...
