Attended a Lotus-on-Track Airfield day at North Weald on Friday. It was an excellent day and the car was faultless. It was really fun being able to push the car in a safe/controlled environment. Small Circuit Video Saving the car after some oversteer on the "Fast Cornering" exercise

Hi All, Strange issue with my 182. The car is showing the ABS/SERV/ESP lights but no code is being stored. The car does seem to have slight ABS “grind” when braking also. Any ideas? Carl

S1 Exige or S2 Exige for me. For financial gains I would say S1. To drive I would say S2. Both are appreciating assets but I would feel guilty putting miles on an S1

The Exige goes into a Lotus Specialist tomorrow for its s260 upgrade. Took it out today for a quick drive today, the colour looks great in the direct sun.

Sprayed the rear grills, number plate panel and fit the new number plate this weekend.

Love that! I bet the owner never wants to drive it. Did you get to drive that one? Would love to feel how raw an S1 Exige feels. The S2s have a Toyota Engine and come in N/A & Supercharged varieties.

But that’s completely not the point of an Exige...an Elise will never be as special or as valued as an Exige. This is due to limited numbers and nostalgia. When buying cars like these, you make the decision with your heart, not your head. Yes you can get a more powerful Elise or even a newer...

Really enjoying it. It’s cliche but every time I drive it, it makes me smile, even if I’m going 20mph in traffic. They are a brilliantly fun car. Ever since the v6 Exige was released, all the forums have been saying that the prices for S2s will flatten etc but they’ve always been proven wrong...

Yep, going to get it checked out by Castle as it’s under warranty. I have looked at upgraded linkages etc but going to get it checked out first before upgrading anything.

I would say the gear change is the weakest part of the car.

A 2bular Stainless Exhaust came up for sale cheap on ebay (had only covered 2k miles) so that was snapped up and the diffuser was removed, powdercoated black and a new genuine trim fit. How it looks now Plans for near future: - Carbon Fibre Splitter - New Genuine...

Purchased from Castle Lotus Feb 2018. - Burnt Orange (although advertised as Chrome Orange) - 2008 - 39k Miles - 4 Owners Photos of when I first viewed the car Agreed a price and collected it, photo with the M3 Removed the carbon fibre wrap from the spoiler, side pods and front access...

Reluctantly we are now looking to sell this. If you/or somebody you know is interested, get in touch.
