Well deserved!

Does anyone have the breakdown of the sales figure across uk and Europe?

[Bibs]

They're confidential I'm afraid mate.

[DarrylV8]

are we able to find the number of Lotus cars sold in the UK and the split in the different variants, keen to see how many Exige V6's and number of roadster, Coupe and Cup versions

[Frickin_idiot]

Total sales in uk is public knowledge and released by smmt on a monthly basis. Breakdown by model may be a little more difficult to obtain.

Yes, but Cup cars show up as regular V6.

Car mag quoted sales of 175 UK, 199 Japan (from memory, I've left the mag at work) for 2013

[NedaSay]

I read somewhere that they sold 75 cars in Germany in 2013.

Good to read both Silverstone and Murray doing well, too. Hat suitably doffed to Aimee and Brandon.

There's some figures here, no idea how accurate they are:

^^ Thanks for that. even if not super accurate they give a good indication of where Lotus stands.

 

Not having the possibility to sell elise and exige in the US hurts the company plenty.

 

I wonder how quickly they'll be able to go back to pre-DB sales numbers.

 

Considering the 2010 sales numbers - 2200+ cars sold worldwide - while Lotus was absent from the Chinese market, it should not be that hard.  When you put the new dearlers in Singapore, UAE... it all should add up  to a few more sales for 2014. If the company could get closer to 3000 cars this year it would be a good step forward.

 

 

But the 2016 new cars on a "new platform" powered by "new engines" cannot come soon enough! And the new Elise and Evora variants should have been here... Yesterday.
