An Elise should be insurable at 21 without too much trouble but expect to pay around £1500-£2000 depending on your mileage. Whilst they are a cheap car to run for their performance they are still not a cheap car to run, I've spent in the region of £3000 keeping mine in top condition over the last year and that has been pretty relaible (only broke down twice due to a blown fuse (50p) and a flat battery (left the lights on)). On the plus side I get ~30mpg when communting and ~35mpg on a run (80mph) so it's pretty good on fuel. If you get a standard Elise rather than a 111s (probably out of your price range) economy will be further improved as you won't have the CR gearbox raising your cruising revs.

thanks for the help mate. Its looking like £1500 which is the most I would want to pay, so it looks like its do-able.
