Mine has arrived. Just need a car to cover.

That is good news. With any luck, we might pick up the twins on the same day. My first job is to remove the radio, never used one in 15 years of Lotus ownership, and fit a blanking plate I have made up.

So am I Although not the dealers fault. Lotus supply problems.

Not yet. The car is at the Dealer, Bell & Colvill, but still waiting for the hard top. Enjoy your visit to Hethel. Also have had the steering wheel re-trimmed in alcantara.

That is the one I have. It works a treat.

Is this of any help?

Jamie from Bell & Colvill has just sent me a few photos of the interior I am having colour coded. Steering wheel is due next week and hopefully the hard top before Christmas.

When I put the deposit on the car Jamie said there was someone coming to look at it. He locked the doors on the car soon afterwards Look forward to seeing yours Scott and see how different it is. I have seen similar cars with white 250 lettering compared to the black on mine. Probably a typical Lotus thing as that is what they had to hand at the time.

You have excellent taste 😎

Just ordered a new cover for my car. Just wondering what arrives first. The car or the cover 😊

Have a word with Dan, https://divinehandcraft.co.uk/collections/lotus, he will make you some up whatever size you want.

Matt, Could not find Xpel on line over here that would sell sheets direct, but found a supplier here who does a matte clear film. At least if it is no good I can peel it off.. https://www.wrapdirect.com/ Paul.

Steve, I think Autumn Gold would be stunning and totally unique, especially with silver wheels. Search for Neal H on here as he had all of the black bits body coloured and you will get the idea of what it would look like. And as Bibs said, I do like Daytona Blue and I saw an Evora in it and it wore the colour well. Will be sorry to see my Exige go, but things move on and if I didn't do the deal now I never will. I do like Daytona colours. Here is my Mk1 Escort in Daytona Yellow.

It is a dealer specced car and I am having some extras put on so I will probably collect it the end of November.
