Very nice, there's one in the HR Owen showroom next door to me. I have looked more than once, but a bit too pricey for me now that the Exige costs the same new and the new Elise is hitting the showrooms.
I'm taking the new elise with race-tech pack out on Saturday for a play....I hope I don't like it as it would be the most impractical (for me) new car I can imagine.
Cheers
Chuck

 

If you're spending £30K on an Lotus, you can get one of these instead (£27K in fact):





The car has more downforce than any Elise, and pull kneck-straining lateral G's.

0-60 in 4.3 seconds.
192 BHP (260 BHP/Tonne)

Howling race exhaust system.

(Being uprated to 260 BHP Supercharged soon)

Here's us at Donington (That's you on the left Chuckster !)
