Got to love the Exige!

Excellent pics and love that colour on the Exige - bet that turned a few heads!

Nice pics. Noticed this has been posted on an awful lot of websites yesterday, nice to share I guess.

But why cant Lotus just post a photo somewhere of an Evora in that colour???

[Bibs]

Unfortunately the CGIs are not a true representatuon af the colours in real life.

Peter is right - by now lotus should have a proper photo of pretty much much every external colour on their website.

[Bibs]

I don't think they've made one in that colour yet hence the lack of photos.

I confess to being totally ignorant about these things, but I am surprised that Lotus didn't ensure that the first cars off of the production line were all different colours.

It's a shame that of the 15 original UK dealer cars 3 are ice white with another 2 aspen white (so a third of the original dealer cars are white!), 2 aquamarine, 2 starlight black and 2 carbon grey. To put it another way, 11 of the 15 cars are effectively in 4 colours!

Now I know that the dealers get to choose the colour of the car they have as a demonstrator and, of course, that they have to sell it eventually so I can understand why they'd want a say but I'd have thought that there could have been some incentive or mechanism just to get different colours of the car out there.

My purchasing situation is determined by a house that I'm having trouble shifting, so it's moot at the moment, but I've pretty much decided that I won't place an order until I've been able to see my shortlist of colours in the flesh - and one of those is burnt orange.

[Bibs]

With customer cars on the line (none have been ordered in burnt orange, yet!) then you'll soon be seeing a good variation of cars on the street or at dealers, not long now.

none have been ordered in burnt orange, yet!

I disagree - Andrew has ordered a burnt orange one through Murray Motors and his order will be one of the first customer cars leaving the line ?

He stated this somewhere within the forum himself.

[x6gas]

Yep: "Burnt Orange with Charcoal interior and Stealth Wheels build slot No5" - sounds spanking to me!

Chillyjockoland is a bit far to go so maybe I'll drive over to Hethel and hand around the factory gates on the day he picks it up!

[Bibs]

I stand corrected. What I meant to say is that his car hasn't been built, or at least painted yet.

Burnt Orange is pretty cool in the flesh.. another example..

and even a spyker in BO.. (not sure if it is the same as Lotus's BO)

In response to :-

Bibs " I stand corrected. What I meant to say is that his car hasn't been built, or at least painted yet. "

My Car has been built and painted in BURNT ORANGE and pictures of MY very BURNT ORANGE EVORA have been emailed to myself...

Since you have all be asking have a look

[x6gas]

I was right; that's absolutely spanking! Well done you. So when you picking it up?

[mail@stefan-boehm.de]

now this is a milestone - first proof of a customer build having been built - CONGRATULATIONS !

however, the question stands - when will it be in your hands ? Looking at PTS vs. delivery date for the dealer demos doesn't really make one happy. And still... for whatever reaseon there are only two EU dealer demos out in the wild (Verhiest, Koninckx).

the one next to it - Neil S. ?

LOVE the colour Andrew. Very jealous. Aquamarine is going to be so sensible & BORING.....

I'll PM you.

Al.

[pfoster@fiberbyte.com]

That does look good. Hopefully you get it soon and then you can post a few more photos showing off the colour. Pity that wasnt painted when I was there 3 weeks ago. It's a tough decision - carbon grey or burnt orange (unseen).

[TomE]

Stunning Andrew, simply stunning! Your toes must be twitching in anticipation of driving it

[Simon350S]

WOW!

STUNNING...!

VERY jealous Andrew. You've got a niceun there. Can't wait to see her in the flesh.

[bingoking]

Andrew, that's a great colour choice. I wasn't to sure about the Chrome Orange car we saw at Murray Lotus but your car looks great. I can't wait to see it out and about in Edinburgh. You must be getting excited now..... just like waiting for Santa.
