The Elise may have the least electrical content of any mass produced car today, so paired with it's Toyota engine & ECU, I would think it's very reliable.
I had a "warm beer " vehicle, a 1972 TR6. When I bought it, the electrical system was spotty at best. I looked under the dash, and there were jumper wires everywhere! I got a mamual, removed the jumper wires, carefully refurbed all the electrics, and then gave up and re-installed all the jumper wires. Nothing like Lucas. Oh, and the dual Zenith Stromberg Carbs were a treat too.
