There are the usual stone chips at the front, as you’d expect of an Elise that has done 35k miles on British roads.  The wheels are in good condition with only a few minor marks. There is bubbling of the paintwork/fibreglass on the offside door underneath the window. There is a larger area of chipped lacquer on the front (photos of all can be provided).
