New Elise S coming

Post by RickH » Wed Sep 04, 2013 11:08 am

So I've put my order in; an Elise S in Sienna Brown with the Touring pack in Cocoa Brown. I know it's not your standard options, but I've seen photos and don't think it looks too shabby:

Due to come to me in time for Christmas.

Anyhoo, yesterday I also went to Airth Castle at the invite from Murray Lotus to have another little taster session. Weather was awesome and they had some toys too. Prime motivation for them was to let people try the Exige Roadster.

Motorsport Elise S that I test drove, plus a recently traded in Evora S in matt black

Not convinced by the idea of a Brillo pad to keep it clean though...

The Exige Roadster was really nice, but I need to start sensible so didn't take this one out...

Cool plate for one of the dealer cars ...

I'll put some photos of mine up when I get it.

I hope Brandon didn't use the line... "it will be the only one of that colour in Scotland" as part of the sales spiel ;)

I'm sure he did somewhere along the line, but he didn't have any photos of any to hand.

Do you know of one / some then?

Nah, it's a standing joke here. Legendary lotus salesman Graeme (still on this list, despite now working at Lotus HQ in Hethel) was known to comment that any car he had just sold was "the only one in that colour in Scotland" :-)

How was the motorsport car - is it any different from the basic elise s?

Cheers,

Robin, I think it's just a standard Elise S in Motorsport Green colour.

Makes sense - I didn't remember there being an actual motorsport model ...
