A return to Lotus ownership!

Post by ClarkyBoy » Sun Dec 10, 2017 11:58 pm

After some discussion with a fellow SE'er I went and collected my 'new' Exige today,

Yellow S2 N/A, 190bhp, really nice example, pretty much unmolested.

I got Craig @ CMC to fit a harness bar, spitfire toe links, carry out the required service, do the geo, MOT the car and give it a good once over.

I could have probably picked better weather to drive to Edinburgh and back from the wintry wilds of Aberdeen, but it was a good drive non the less!

I had forgotten how crap the headlights are, how useless the wiper is and how awkward getting in and out is with a hard roof - all good fun though <BG>

Here are some pics, I've left it with a pal at his garage at Inverurie to get some tyres on the front and give it a clean for me... oh and keep it until the snow at my house buggers off!

It might be dirty but I bet it's lovely underneath.

Nice one.

Something like that but with a blower is on our bucket list
