Lotus celebrates 20 years of the Exige with Anniversary Special Edition

[roddy]

Only the trim around the gear selector and window switches so they match the orange interior

Mine finally exported 

Do we know how many 20th units were produced ??? It has been for sale barely 7 months 

The only mod short term will be the 430 cup side scoops

Mine has also been out and about last weekend for some essential shopping 

 

Lotus told me there had been 27 20th Anniversary editions in Calypso Red produced for world wide distribution, couldn't get any other information out of them on the total number of 20th Anniversaries

I recommend to retrofit the exhaust flap switch .... The sound of the 410 exhaust is music to your ears without having to wait for 4.5rmp, lotus removed it because of the stupid EU regulations 

[Ramones1234]

Already done 😀

Dealer did that for me, hitting the button is all in the same motion as putting on the seatbelt. The AIM dash also shows the open/closed message.

Had mine about 2 months, already done around 3000kms and a few track days.

Seems adding a pic is the done thing...

Quick question for the 20th owners (or anyone who knows )

Today I noticed this squealing-ish noise in my engine (it was cold) is it normal ???

 

[Ramones1234]

I have been in contact with Lotus customer service again and they have confirmed the below:-

"I can confirm we have produced 155 Exige 410 20^th Anniversary Editions"

That's very interesting.... Did the give you a colour/country split? ( I guess not as you would have mentioned it!)

Do you think they could let us know?

[Ramones1234]

That’s all I have, but I do know they produced 27 in calypso red 😀

[Chunkv6]

I picked up my new 20th on the 20th to replace my previous 20th............

A friend of mine brought his new Exige around to meet my Evora 😀

[Chunkv6]

AIM dash, red calipers and black interior i presume!?    That was meant to be my car that i ordered through Lotus Uk however it was delivered without the blue interior so i had to get another one. Lovely car though

[Simon Bateman]

Sounds like that car.....

I suspect he'd rather the black interior anyway, so all good really.

[Chunkv6]

Simon, I see your friend has decided to change the car after only 1800 miles?

[Simon Bateman]

Sorry, only just seen this.....

Interesting......I spoke to him about two weeks ago and he didnt mention it.

I know he was a bit frustrated with the lack of use his job and home life was causing.

I'll investigate 😉

[Chunkv6]

Hi Simon, I’ve only cover 1400 miles myself so I can sympathise if that’s the case.

will be a great buy for someone who missed out on a 20th. Wondering what he has bought next 😂 

[Simon Bateman]

I spoke to him earlier and as suspected, work and home life has reduced the amount of usage.

He did manage a trip to scotland, so he's actually clocked up 1800 miles,  but couldn't really see much usage thereafter.

It's now nicely run in for the next owner and has been dry stored from new, so should be a good buy for someone 👍

Hi everyone I am new here my first post. Martin I am from Stoke and my new orange anniversary is being delivered to Signiture tomorrow for a full ppf and ceramic coating. I thought these cars would be rare!... haha. Might see you knocking about?

 

I actually forgot about the anniversary edition existed but I came across the signature video on YouTube and loved the seats. I went to look at a silver 410 at oakmere. But I couldn’t take to it. A blue 410 sold at silverstone that looked a nice car. I was going to look at an orange 410 in Birmingham but then I saw my car brand new bit of man maths and I can’t believe  what I have done! The seats sold it.

 

I like the red but I always end up with red cars so this is a change for me. Always wanted an orange Exige as well. I would like to get the 1000 mile running in service done this year so I can enjoy it next year. Looking forward to being back in a Lotus.

[cuprapw]

Mine has changed quite a bit

Hi Keo, welcome to the Orange Exige club. Hopefully see you out and about Stoke, I think there is also a Blue 20th knocking about too.

Have fun and get it to a track!
