Looking at your car history I am guessing you would not touch anything manufactured in the last two decades with a pole 😂

A fantastic replacement, I have had the privilege to drive a good few 650s Spiders and almost purchased one early last year, amazing cars. Sad to hear is views on current Lotus and even more sad it’s hard to disagree with anything he mentioned in the video.

Having owned a few Evora’s my last a GT 410 sport and many other Lotus cars don’t get distracted by the typical Evora owner saying there cars are the superior car, believe me they are not having driven a few Emira’s now they are a much better car than any Evora I have owned, not just in Looks, build quality is night and day not to mention the quality of materials used in the Emira. If anyone can notice a decrease of 10 bhp from a 410 must be a driving god. Probably will get some flack on here for posting this reply but just trying to give my honest opinion, if i was putting a big chunk of money on a lotus, it would be something nearly new with manufacturers warranty and a car that drives like its predecessor which is fantastic and looks like a mini Supercar.

The first place I advertised my GT 410sport was the TLF for the same price as the dealer offered me on my most recent McLaren and then AutoTrader, lots off stupid offers no one got near my PX price so sadly went to there groups Lotus dealership in Scotland and then sold to someone that was interested in the car when I had it for sale for many thousands of pounds more the car still had 10month manufacturer’s warranty when I had it for sale, obviously the only thing I could not offer was finance a major factor even in the days of high interest possibly? Performance cars at certain price points are a hard sell private and that’s not just Lotus.

Good video from the other side of the pond if you have a few hours spare to watch it.

Only the the GT430 came with a baffied sump in the UK

Horner the Gaslighter, the aggressor playing the victim, how anyone can defend his actions is beyond me, there is a victim in all this process and she as sadly been pushed aside for a power struggle in the very toxic environment of Redbull ,shame on the FIA and liberty Media for not seeking more transparency. Sad times for F1, the only winner is sadly Netflix.

Looks good in Red and sensibly priced.

Totally agree Aston have come a long way in the last few years, it’s a stunning looking car and more than enough power, the latest infotainment is class leading, competitive on priced in this segment of the market. If this was lotus going down this route with powerful ICE engines instead of the EV tunnel sure it would make members of this forum much happier.

Yes Phil it was definitely a potential purchase always had a soft spot for the Type 25 430. But after driving the car you forgot how raw this lotus platform can be and decided that my old bones could not take the punishment anymore lol.

Not sure what your issue is with Lewis?, sure you would have not come out with the same comment if it was Max that was highlighted in Pete’s previous post. You seem to be one of the very few that are being negative about his move to Ferrari, good for the sport definitely unless you can tell me different?

Congratulations Phil that looks amazing, hopefully see you and the car on a MLOC run soon, the colour is fantastic, would be interesting how many left the factory in that colour combination. As for your question on the decals, never been a fan always thought the looked they looked like Halfords aftermarket stickers. To be honest they look ok against the grey paint and on limited run car buyers will want to purchase a car as close to OEM in the future.

You must be happy watching a other team trailing around at the back of the field, Andretti have never built there own IndyCar like the other teams buy them of the self so a bit of a tall order to build a competitive F1 car, look at the last team to join F1 Haas 10years ago it’s not gone that good for them. It’s the commercial rights holder Liberty Media and yes it’s a American company, who decides who can have a new entry not the teams.
