Troyboy Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Nathan, do you know what the reserve is on the Type 25. I've tried to ask but it won't let me ask any questions. Only 5 hrs to go. I can't see it selling at this price. It'll probably go up in a flurry of bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC won't let you ask what the reserve is, so not surprising! I expect it is going to go to 80k plus over the next few hours, and a dealer will retail it for over 90k. I know that Castle are looking at it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid 85k for mine a year ago before 2nd hand prices shot up but this is much lower mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyboy Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thanks Nathan. That is what worries me Dave. If an engine has been buzzed too much on track. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my question. I'm not bidding on the car. The auction process is not for me as it's a rush. I have my own car to sort out and I'm lacking in garage space for both cars. I'm watching with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimichanga Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Encouraging for Cup 430 owners, especially while new Exiges are still available for less. Congrats to the new owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimichanga Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Choice of brand new 420FEs for less.@Troyboy if you are in no rush you might pick up a good deal on a new 420FE or 430FE if they are still around next year when Emiras start coming through. Haven’t seen a 430FE for sale in the UK as yet though, seem to be super rare here. £100k still seems to be a psychological barrier when it comes to any Lotus. But we have it relatively easy, in France a 430FE will cost you €176k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bispal Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I don't think there is a 430FE only the 420FE. They only made the 430CUP's they did and that's that, you can't buy one now unless there is old stock somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Paul_D Posted November 13, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 They did a CUP 430 Final Edition. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/model/lotus-exige-cup-430-final-edition/ Not sure what it really gave you over a non Final Edition though. (Other than the digital dash, and you'd probably want the 'proper' AIM one in a CUP car anyway for the track features) I'd be surprised if they sold very many.

jimichanga Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Definitely is a Cup 430 Final Edition, one bloke has ordered a 250 and 430 Cup in matching colours from Silverstone. French dealer has 4 for sale each over €170k. Europeans seem to like them more than UK buyers. Final Edition is no time for half measures, Cup 430 FE is doing it properly.

Inversed Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I also think there will be plenty 430 FEs, car collectors will love the best and last of Exige/Elises. I wonder whats the split between 390/420/430. I think 420s will be the rarest. @jimichanga just to clarify, 170k€ french cars are listed for that price because france has huge tax on supercars, that 50k€ is prettymuch just co2 tax obligations. In other countries cars were priced normally. When I contacted dealer in Italy for any remaining stock (I found out about FEs few month late) they had only 240,250 and 390s available. I would probably go for 390 anyway, even if there would be 420/430 available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bispal Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Never seen a 430CUP FE in the UK, would be interesting to see if ant were sold in the UK. French dealers are great at making up their own specials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimichanga Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 In the UK 390 is definitely the most popular, 420 seems to have done well but very few 430 FE to my knowledge. Thought we might see some more dealers taking a punt and ordering one for stock but not many have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
