Have no idea what model it was, but part of the reg had a couple of V's in it! I'm sorry for the lack of info. Like I said I didn't even realise until it was up close that it was a Lotus until I saw the badge when it passed me!! :oops: Then I had an idea that it might have been an esprit so I googled it and up came a pic of the same car!!

I have been on lotusespritworld however and I think it looks kinda like a v8 one. I don't think it looked as 'boxy' as the older styles and it had a spoiler which kinda flowed into the body. Does that make sense? I hope I am describing it right!!

There's a Yellow one at my new work reg P88 *** or something similar. Beautiful looking car, but i guess different to the Esprit you saw Jen.

There can't be too many yellow esprits in Aberdeen? Are there any V's in the number plate Peter?

I used to often see a yellow V8 (round rear lights) when we lived in town. Often parked on Claremont Street.
