Scottish Elises

The new official store for Lotus goes on-line 29th January.

I've seen the majority of the items available already at the Paris Motor Show and they are indeed quality, however, they probably will be £££.

I've cheekily enquired too via Jaime Osborne at Lotus

Here's hoping Grame.
I internally gasped as Miss Becker told me a waterproof jacket I was looking at would be around £300!

BUMP and BOUNCE

Bump the posting as it launched today

and

Bounce my cheque....

I guess Lotus really are aiming for the high end market - much as I would like to, I wont be buying any Lotus Originals in the near future.
I don't think much of the Originals or Heritage ranges but some of the accessories are good and the the Performance range looks really but £138 for a polo shirt and £525 for a jacket !!
Keyring £88
I think you need to have a good customer base in the high end cars before you can start shifting stock at that price - I just don't see where the market is for it - cart before the horse me-thinks.
I wonder how long it is before they start discounting to get some sales.

lol £88 keyring!!! haahha mental.
the bags are a grand!! lol
crazy prices...

when i crashed my elise and it got recovered to a garage, i left the main keys with them - on my Lotus keyring. Went to get it back and it was gone! Someone took it... so I argued with the manager for him to get me it back - "what, ur 2 bob key ring?!".
I knew my car was dead, and i wanted something to remember it by - so yes!! got it back, the person who took it handed it in. sentimental value.

but. now... i could say its about 100 quid!! lol...

As there is a factory tie in it could well be. In a way they might get away with it for F1 merchandise as there IS a market for that with general racing fans and the Lotus heritage coming back - and some of the other teams have expensive gear too (although still not as costly as the Lotus Originals) so the bar has been set.

some really nice stuff at half the price
