I ordered my Elise #11 on list at Valenti. I ordered Bordeaux Red with touring package, sports package, hard top, and biscuit interior.
I also saw the ardent red s111 demo yesterday. I could not drive it because the check engine light was going on, but I got to sit in it and see the car in person. I am not tall but I have pretty wide shoulders and I was originally concerned about my comfort and ease of entrance/egress. The car is better than I had ever imagined and with proper technique, getting in and out was easy if you are not trying to look cool doing it.
As a final note, I took the sample color chip for ardent red and held it up against the demo car and it seemed to be right on. Some of the color chips looked different than what I have seen on the internet. Most chips appear darker (especially bourdeaux red) than what I have seen on internet.
