Oh, I know. British racing green, with a yellow band round the nose. Remember, just a few weeks back, I posted some snaps I took at Portmeirion. Personally, if I wanted a '7, the Rotus seems to offer all the fun, but without the unreliability of the original. The new Elise, though, seems to be the modern-day successor to the 7; totally impractical power-to-weight ratio, no luggage space, etc., etc.
