Watch it a couple of times as you will miss something the first time.

I don't know if most of you are SELOC members, so here's a cut and paste from Maidstone Sports Cars user account on there - The following companies have been pushed out by Lotus and have had there contracts terminated. Hangar 111 RMS SJ Sports Cars South west Lotus Esprit Engineering Allon White Spo...

Has been a write off in the past and is otherwise in poor condition too.

If you haven't watched it yet, don't waste your time.

"Lotus, a new dawn" Channel 4 tomorrow after the F1.

I would avoid Porsche Aberdeen for sales. Wouldn't give me the time of day. Managed to piss off my nephew too when he enquired about a business lease in a Taycan and they fobbed him off. Was out with the Porsche Club for the first time in Saturday and I gather my experience is not unusual. Add me to...
