I doubt you'll find one for £14k. I saw that red one and it was only a fiver short of £15k. Did see a blue one ages ago for the same. £16k seems more like the bottom of the prices for the MK2 at the moment. Not that many of them around so it could well be keeping the prices up a bit.
I went from an Elise to mine and I really enjoy it. Obviously not as good on the track and nowhere near as economical but I drive it on the road 99% of the time where it completely outshines the Lotus over s**tty roads, potholes, speedhumps (well, the nose is a little scraped!)... it is much better on a dual carridgeway, much more comfortable, warm, it doesn't leak, I can hear the stereo and get things in it. Oh, and it attracts a lot more attention.
