I know everyone says the roof is bad but I'm assuming it's night and day better than the lotus version?

Nice car. I approve.

The Spyder is the "knees of the Bee"

Most of the weight saving over the Boagster comes from the removal of convertible roof,air con and hifi
(Though most are specc'd with air con and music)

The hood is pants........but surprisingly water/air tight

I drove one fitted with GT3 seats and it felt fabulously direct

I thoroughly approve of these beautiful cars within SE :D

This.

Haven't had a drive in one yet, but they hold a lot of appeal.

Certainly looks great. If only the cars could be delivered or potential customers expectations were managed in the interim period. :roll:

It's Left Hand Drive so doubt it's going to MMC. Remember at Goodwood Festival of Speed a couple of guys discussing Porsche Viper Green with Graeme so maybe they have gone for an "official" Lotus colour instead..

Looks great, If only I could convince Muneeba but she doesn't seem convinced by the colour.

Graeme someone posted that pick on Seloc today and said it was Isotope Green (I'd rather trust in you saying it is Krypton)

You think i looked hard enough to spot that?! I saw the colour and the diamond cut wheels, and that was my limited observation..
