Well now things are getting back to somewhere near normal - looking to meet at Silverstone Museum around 09.30 to catch up and then have a leisurely drive around some attractive B roads and villages - all Lotus cars and any Lotus enthusiast’s welcome https://www.silverstonemuseum.co.uk/
-
Also heard 550 to be built in year 1 but due to interest this may increase as I heard once if you have 10 customers only build nine products

-
Live the car cover the ours is almost a daily so sits outside on drive but yellow cars get filthy quick
-

-
Love the car - all extras and painting of other bits look great ours is a stock car from Silverstone- another dealer I would recommend fully - ours is solid yellow - very bright
-
But have twice the power - I must admit the S1 at times needed worked very hard - but that was also part of the fun trying to carry as much speed as possible through corners, the 240 feels very grown up - but still retains the Elise DNA strongly - even the visible glue lines
-
No idea of difference with leather or carbon fibre but after many years of S1 ownership the FE is easy to slide into - the aim dash is simple and effective- no idea of lights on change yet as need to do 1000 miles before can stretch its legs - but so far all good very happy
-
Yes not really a concern as other than having a habit of glancing at temp gauge - S1 ownership and Elan S2 wedge habit - I don’t often look at dash so it’s nice to have digital but I always like the stack dials if I am honest
-
No idea have an aim dash going in Ultima so confused but surely you cannot have maps etc on dash
-
Had a lot of Elise’s S1, S2 and a 220 but just feel the final editions have 25 years of development and lots of nice bits too - have seen the carthrough a tiny window - how sad are we - pick up next Saturday
-
Have purchased yellow car from Silverstone very happy with spec
-
What colour was it a stock car
-
I don’t think so it’s a well supported off the shelf unit I believe with lotus software https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles/all-new-digital-instrument-pack-creates-the-perfect-lotus-track-day-tool.html
-
Final editions look to be selling well, and a fair few bits and pieces added - digital dash etc and a lift in power so not just a few decals - well done Lotus
-
Looks like club lotus and lotus drivers club are celebrating 25 years of Elise at Silverstone www.lotusdriversclub.org.uk and lotus owners club for discount tickets etc
-
Congratulations from lotus Silverstone and Stelvio in a long weekend is not to bad a dash in five days but would rather see a bit more , and many of the other passes are bette drives
