Hello,

 

Just driven home from collecting my new Ardent Red Elise 220 Cup from Aims at Silverstone.

 

Whilst this is my first post, most of you will know my Lotus history from my hubby TJ3N, but now we have one each! (He thinks he's going to get a go in mine - I've only let him 'check it was ok' so far). For those that don't know we had an Elise CR that we replaced last year with the LF1, but I missed the Elise so sold my Boxster S to buy the Cup.

 

So the spec:

Ardent red

Wing mirrors and stems in matt black

Red contrast stitching interior

Air con

Air bag delete

A frame with harnesses

Plumbed fire extinguisher and isolation switches

FIA carbon race seats

Cup R forged wheels and yokohoma tyres

Front and rear towing eye

Performance air filter

 

The car looks fantastic, Lotus and Silverstone did a brilliant job prepping it, once again Aimee and the team at Silverstone went above and beyond getting us my perfect bespoke spec.

 

Now to get it run in ready to get on track. We'll be at the festival on Saturday, the car will be on the Elise 20 year display.

 

Cheers

 

Alex

Very very nice, I love Ardent Red Loti....  Nice one.

My comments and observations are my own, invariably "tongue in cheek", and definitely, sarcastic in nature. Therefore, do not take my advice, suggestions, observations or posts seriously or personally and remember if you do, do anything, that I may have suggested, then you have done this based solely on your own decision to do so and therefore you acknowledge responsibility and accountability (I know, in this modern world these are the hardest things for you to accept) for your actions and indemnify me of any influence, responsibility, accountability, or liability, in what you have done. In other words, you did it, so suffer the consequences on your own!

Great looking car, not the first "his & hers" Lotuses but an LF1 and a 220 Cup is probably the most Motorsport pairing. Like the plate too.
